Wayne Cornwell - Pulpit Minister - wcornwell @highlandheights.net - Wayne is one of Highland Height’s strongest assets. He has served as our preacher since November of 1990. He graduated from Lipscomb University in 1982, married his wonderful wife and has two beautiful children. He is blessed with an amazing gift of speech and has a rock-solid foundation of Bible knowledge. Wayne’s favorite Bible verse is Romans 8:28 which reads, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Since Wayne’s arrival, the congregation has grown drastically and much of that can be attributed to his dedication to teaching the Gospel of Christ. We are very thankful to have Wayne as part of our family. |

She has been a tremendous asset to us and has been an intregral part of our growth over the last several years. She is responsible for coordinating dates and times of all the events, updating our calendar, creating and mailing our bulletin each week, and she handles all our calls. In other words, she keeps us organized and heading in the right direction.Nedia’s favorite Bible verse is “This is the day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Her favorite part of her job is when she gets to write poetry and slide it into the weekly bulletins.
