Lake Highlands Baptist Church

Churches & Places of Worship
Hours: Lake Highlands Baptist Church has a rich history dating back over 120 years. The church began as a group of Christians meeting in the South Park School of Dallas, TX, and has since undergone several name changes, eventually settling on its current name, Lake Highlands Baptist Church, after relocating to its current location in the Old Lake Highlands neighborhood in 1959. Today, LHBC is known for its warm and welcoming community. Visitors consistently describe the church as one of the most hospitable they have ever experienced, with many reporting that they were immediately greeted by the pastor and quickly invited to join members for lunch after their first visit. The church's multi-generational congregation includes college students, young families, empty nesters, and retirees, most of whom live within a 20-30 minute radius. The worship style at LHBC is casual and down-to-earth, featuring a blend of hymns and modern hymns accompanied by simple acoustic guitar, piano, or violin. The service follows a liturgy, and the church practices "Family Worship," where children over 5-6 join their parents in the main service. The senior pastor, Bill Watson, is described as a "tremendous biblical/Greek scholar and teacher yet humble shepherd," a rare combination. Under his leadership, the church is committed to the ordinary means of grace, such as Scripture, prayer, and fellowship, and is dedicated to never growing beyond a certain size before planting a new church, a refreshing approach in an era of megachurches. Overall, Lake Highlands Baptist Church is a warm, welcoming, and vibrant community of believers, focused on equipping its members to follow Jesus and share the gospel with others.
