#GraceAndGenerosity

“I would tell you this morning, the principle here is that grace precedes generosity. That our experience of God's grace in our life is actually what what forges this opportunity within us through the power of the Holy Spirit to play a part in what God is building. So look, their generosity, it wasn't an attempt to earn God's favor. Their generosity was a response to God's mercy. You could say it like this, generosity is a response to grace, not a price paid to earn it.”

#HeartOfWorship

“In Exodus 32, the people give their gold to construct an idol. They grow impatient with God's timing, with God's vision, with what God wants for their lives. And instead they give themselves over to an idol. But in Exodus 36, the people bring their resources because of the mercy of God to build what God wanted to be built. Now this is important because in both moments the people gave what they had, but what they were giving toward had completely changed. And I would tell you today it's important because what we worship shapes what we do with what we have.”

#GodsDwellingPlace

“God instructed Israel to build the tabernacle because he desired to dwell among his people. Their generosity served that purpose. Through Jesus, we discover something even greater, that in him, we are also being built together into a dwelling place for God by his spirit. Don't miss this. In Exodus, God's people helped to build a place where his presence would dwell. But in Ephesians, God is building his people into a dwelling place for his presence.”

Beliefs

What are its stated core beliefs?
Heights Church says it holds to the core doctrines of historically orthodox Christianity. Its stated beliefs include:

- **God and the Trinity:** There is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—equal in power and eternity, with distinct persons and functions. God is Creator, loving, and holy.
- **Scripture:** The 66 books of the Bible are God’s inspired word, without error in the original writings, and the final authority for faith and practice.
- **Humanity and sin:** People are made in God’s image, but sin separates them from God.
- **Jesus Christ and salvation:** Jesus is fully God and fully human; he lived without sin, died for humanity’s sins, rose from the dead, ascended to heaven, and will return. Salvation is God’s gift, received through faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection—not earned by good works—and believers are called to follow Jesus daily.
- **The Holy Spirit:** The Spirit makes people aware of their need for Christ, lives in believers, guides and empowers them, and gives spiritual gifts that remain active today.
- **The Church:** The Church is made up of those who receive Jesus and is called to share the gospel, build up believers, and serve people in need. Heights recognizes baptism and the Lord’s Supper as scriptural ways of proclaiming a changed life in Christ.
- **Eternity:** People will exist eternally, either separated from God in hell or united with God in eternal life.
- **Marriage:** Heights defines marriage as a covenant between one man, one woman, and God, and says its pastoral staff will solemnize only such marriages.

How does it practice baptism and communion, and who can participate?
Heights Church practices **believers’ baptism** and the **Lord’s Supper** as scriptural ways of proclaiming the changed life found in Christ. Baptism is for people who have confessed faith in Jesus; the church describes people taking that step after a confession of faith, including one baptism that happened spontaneously. (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/about) (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/what-part-does-god-want-me-to-play-in-what-he-is-building)

The website doesn’t specify how often communion is observed or exactly who may partake. It identifies the Lord’s Supper as a practice of the church but doesn’t give participation guidelines. (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/about)

What roles can women hold in church leadership?
At Heights Church, women can serve as lead pastors: the church identifies Felicia Nolan alongside Seth Nolan as its Lead Pastors. The website also encourages all believers to use their gifts and participate in ministry, but it doesn’t specify other formal leadership roles or gender-specific limits.

Teaching

Which recent sermons would help someone understand the teaching?
The **More Than Enough** series would help someone understand the teaching:

- **“What part does God want me to play in what He is building?”** (Part 2) explores how people can participate in God’s work. (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/whatpartdoesgodwantmetoplayinwhatheisbuilding)

How does the church talk about sin, confession and forgiveness?
Heights Church describes sin as disobedience to God that separates people from experiencing God’s love and presence. It teaches that people cannot overcome sin through self-improvement or good works; forgiveness and salvation are received by trusting in Jesus’ death and resurrection. When someone confesses and commits to Jesus, all sins are forgiven, their relationship with God is established, and eternal life begins. (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/about)

How does the teaching approach community and honesty with others?
The teaching presents community as a place to be known and supported, and honesty as acting with integrity and being candid rather than pressuring people. Heights’ Community Groups are meant to help people follow Jesus together: members pray for one another, show up in hard seasons, and encourage one another toward love and good deeds. (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/community-groups)

Pastor Seth Nolan illustrates honesty through the account of the sanctuary workers: they told Moses that the people had already given enough, and Moses told them to stop collecting. The lesson is that leaders should be truthful about what is needed, and generosity should come willingly—not from pressure or an attempt to earn God’s favor. ([25:23 from November 09, 2026]) ([26:53 from November 09, 2026])

How does the church approach doubt and suffering?
Heights’ supplied materials don’t describe a specific method for handling doubt. They point to faith in Jesus, the Bible as the final authority for faith and practice, and the Holy Spirit’s guidance; they also describe the church as a place to build one another up in faith. (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/about)

In suffering, the church’s examples emphasize prayer, care, and hope in Jesus without suggesting that hardship always ends in an earthly healing. Pastor Seth Nolan describes the church praying for and walking with Braden, who had a kidney transplant, and supporting Steve’s family after Steve’s death. Steve had come to faith and been baptized, and his family was grateful the church had made room for him to find Jesus. ([32:24 from November 09, 2026]) ([33:22 from November 09, 2026])

How does the church approach faith and work?
Heights Church sees faith and work as connected, but not as a way to earn salvation: salvation is received by faith in Jesus, not by self-improvement or good works. Instead, faith shapes how people live and serve. (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/about)

The church encourages people to use their God-given gifts, abilities, and resources to take part in what God is doing. In a sermon on Exodus 36, Seth Nolan points to the skilled craftspeople whose hearts were stirred to do the work, and says everyone has a part to play—not just pastors. ([05:55 from November 09, 2026]) The church applies this beyond Sunday gatherings, describing its vision as bringing heaven to earth and impacting homes, families, and workplaces. (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/about)

Serving, then, is a way to put faith into practice: the church says it helps gifts make an impact and faith become something lived. (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/serve)

Is an answer based on an official statement or an interpretation of sermons?
It depends on the answer’s source. A belief stated on Heights Church’s website—such as its statement that salvation is received by faith—is an official church statement (https://www.heightschurchtn.com/about). A conclusion drawn from the sermon, such as that generosity is a response to grace rather than a way to earn God’s favor, is an interpretation of the sermon’s teaching ([23:27 from November 09, 2026]).
