Our Story

How it all started...

In March 2018,  Elder Dennis Austin was elevated to Assistant Pastor of Higher Heights.  Pastor Austin began to lead the flock as assigned by God and with the training, knowledge, wisdom, and vision that his spiritual father, the late Pastor Jack Scott, had left him with.

In February 2019, Pastor Austin made the decision to close the doors to the Higher Heights Church building in Citrus Heights, CA, and by the leading on the Holy Spirit and direction from his spiritual father, moved the church to American Lakes Elementary School, in the Natomas area of Sacramento, CA.
In June 2019, Pastor Austin was installed, under the spiritual leadership of Bishop Curtis Sweet and the Kingdom LifeNet Ministries, as Senior Pastor of Higher Heights at which time, he changed the name of the church to Higher Heights Community Church (HHCC). A Church that is into what God is up to.

Expanding the vision...

In March 2020, the world as we knew it, had changed. COVID hit, and our service space was no longer available. We had entered new territory and began live streaming services from the living room of one of HHCC’s partners. This is where prayer and faith really kicked in.
Not even three months later, the Lord opened a door. HHCC received the keys to what is now our church home, 2230 Arden Way, Suite H. In less than a year later, we open the doors to the Jack Scott Outreach Center where we immediately began serving the community with our weekly food & clothes closet. Only God can do it!

Where we are headed...

God is leading HHCC into uncharted territory. We are walking by faith and not by site.  We encourage each partner to adjust your life to where God is at work and obediently follow. We are trusting that as we pray for God to send in the willing workers, just as He has been, He will continue to do it.

HHCC has goals that reach far beyond what we can think or imagine. They are God-sized goals that require complete trust. Gods plans will not fail! We will never stop being the church that is into what God is up to.
