Highland Baptist Church

What Highland Baptist Church does

Highland Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist 501(c)(3) congregation located at 2425 SE 4th St in Moore, Oklahoma, operating from a 28,000 square foot facility on an 18-acre site. The church was constituted on July 13, 1986, following a mission effort that began in 1981 led by four Moore-area couples and supported by Southern Hills Baptist Church of Oklahoma City as its sponsoring congregation. The current pastoral leadership team includes Senior Pastor Bob Thompson, Executive Pastor Ken Kniskern, NextGen Pastor Brandon Mata, Family Pastor Rick Brunner, and Office Manager Loni Sadler; the church reports approximately 83 employees and a congregation of around 130 members across multiple generations with a notable concentration of young families and military families connected to nearby Tinker Air Force Base.

The church's core offerings consist of weekly Sunday morning worship at 10:30AM with Sunday School at 9:15AM, Wednesday evening Bible study at 6:30PM, and a portfolio of discipleship programs including AWANA (ages 2 through 6th grade), Children's Ministry, and Student Ministry for 7th-12th graders. Community-facing services include a Food Pantry operating Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings on a no-zip-code basis with 60-day re-eligibility, missions partnerships operating under the Acts 1:8 model, and pastoral prayer/ministry support. Infrastructure is built on standard non-profit church technology: BreezeChMS for member and form management, Tithe.ly for online giving, text-to-give, and website hosting, and SignUpGenius for volunteer scheduling.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary member contributions across four channels: in-person offerings during services, online giving via Tithe.ly, text-to-give (text 'give' to 405-294-1113), and mailed checks, with a designated Food Pantry giving designation. The church is independently and autonomously governed under SBC doctrinal alignment via the Baptist Faith and Message, with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no external equity or debt ownership. Marketing and outreach is conducted through the church website (hbcmoore.org), Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), a weekly email newsletter, and a BTM Ministries Facebook group for missions engagement.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Quail Springs Baptist Church (Oklahoma City): Southern Baptist church in the Oklahoma City metro with similar multi-generational programming, missions focus, and community engagement; serves as a scale-up comparison point for Highland's ministry model.
• Southern Hills Baptist Church (Oklahoma City): Sponsoring church of Highland from the 1981 mission effort; same Southern Baptist affiliation, similar community-focused programming, and overlapping Oklahoma-market footprint, making it the closest doctrinal and operational peer.
• First Baptist Church of Moore: The other historic Baptist congregation in Moore, Oklahoma, operating in the same city and demographic catchment; provides a direct geographic and doctrinal benchmark against which Highland's positioning is best measured.
• Henderson Hills Baptist Church (Edmond, OK): Southern Baptist church in nearby Edmond with a comparable congregational profile, strong family and youth programming, and active community outreach - structurally analogous to Highland across ministry mix and SBC identity.

Others

• AWANA: International children's Bible-memory ministry whose Wednesday-night program Highland runs locally for ages 2 to 6th grade; adjacent service provider rather than competitor, but operates in the children's ministry space Highland occupies.
• Operation Blessing International: Disaster-relief partner that coordinated 5,000+ volunteers and 1,000+ work orders through Highland during the 2013 tornado; comparable in community-outreach scale and disaster-response scope, though a partner rather than a competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Lifeway Christian Resources: Publishing and resource arm of the Southern Baptist Convention; supplies curriculum, VBS, and study materials to SBC churches including Highland, making it the resource-ecosystem incumbent that defines what SBC programming looks like.
• Life.Church (Edmond, OK): Largest church in the Oklahoma City metro and a multi-site digital ministry; provides a broader benchmark for programming sophistication, digital giving, and youth engagement that all flow downstream into Highland's competitive set.
