Plan Your Visit


If you're checking out High Tide Church and wondering what it's like, we've created a Plan Your Visit page just for you. We know visiting a church for the first time can bring a lot of questions, so we wanted to make it as easy as possible to find the answers.


On this page, you'll learn what to expect on a Sunday morning, where to park, what our services are like, information about our children's ministries, and more. It's designed to help you feel comfortable before you ever walk through our doors.


When you're ready, simply visit our Plan Your Visit page. And don't worry—you can always come back to hightidechurch.org to explore everything else happening at High Tide Church.


Our prayer is that your first visit is relaxed, welcoming, and centered on what matters most: worshiping Jesus, hearing God's Word, and discovering the hope found in a saving relationship with Him.

We can't wait to meet you!

Volunteers Needed to Assemble Shoeboxes

Now it’s time to get those boxes ready to build again, and WE NEED YOU!


Never built a shoebox before? No worries! No building skills needed — we’ll train you! Just bring a willing heart and a desire to make a difference in a child’s life.

Once you complete both steps of the Baptism Request Form you will be contacted to discuss your baptism. NOTE: Although you do not have to attend a NEXT STEP class in order to be baptized, we highly recommend that you do as this is a time for you to ask questions. It's also a time that you are able to have a one-on-one conversation with an elder or deacon about your salvation. 

There are two parts to the registration.
Step 1: Complete Request Form with includes your contact information.
Step 2: When you submit the form you will be prompted to complete the Attendee Information Section — the information collected is needed to schedule your baptism. After you submit the Attendee Information Form, you will be contacted by Carrie Boyden.

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."
