Start Your Journey With ChristDiscover More with our Next Steps TrackKidsStudentsEventsOur Core BeliefsConnect With A PastorCommunity Groups seek to develop and lead people to become Great Commission Christians that are involved in evangelism, discipleship, ministry, service, fellowship and worship. I encourage you to read through the most recent copy of our Community Groups list and we invite you to strongly consider joining one, if you have not done so already.
If you are a parent, please remember that it is very important to encourage your children to attend Community Groups. We have classes for all ages, ranging from bed babies to senior adults. Specifically for adults, we have classes for singles, coeds, couples, and men and women.
Within our Community Groups list, you will find names of teachers who are investing their lives for the Kingdom, going the second mile on a regular basis, and faithfully serving to provide meaningful Bible study and learning opportunities for you and people of all ages. You are welcome to visit a class where you can study the Word of God and meet new people! Longview Heights Baptist Church would be honored by your presence and I pray that God will lead you and your family to plant your lives in Kingdom building!

Women’s D-Groups
Various Times
Like the LHBC men have been experiencing this year, we are now establishing weekly accountability Bible study groups for women, called D-Groups. These D-Groups are based on the model of 2 Timothy 2:2 and will consist of a maximum of 4 to 5 women. Groups will gather weekly for prayer, accountability, and discussion of daily Bible readings; accountability in personal growth; and accountability in living as a Great Commission Christians. The intention is that those in each D-Group will become reproducing leaders and start new D-Groups in the future…disciples making disciples. Most of these groups will meet on Wednesday evenings, but this is not a requirement. D-Groups may meet whenever the group decides. Sign-ups for D-Groups will begin in December.
Men's D-Groups
Various Times
The Great Commission commands believers to make disciples. To be a disciple maker, you first need to be a disciple. The best way to begin the journey of being a disciple is through a D-Group. A D-Group is a meeting of believers for regular, purposeful, intentional equipping and accountability. The goal is for the members of the group eventually multiply themselves by seeing their friends, family, or associates come to Christ and lead out as a disciple maker either through teaching or leading a new D-Group.
New core studies coming this spring
Equipped for the Task - Wednesday Night
Wed, 6:30pm, beginning Feb 5 and ending May 14 (15 weeks)
This class will provide a level of missions education (Biblical foundation, historical perspective, various worldviews) combined with practical applications of personal discipleship. The goal of this class is to learn about missions, be challenged to live out the Great Commission, and be burdened for those without the hope of the Gospel in DeSoto County and around the world.
Elijah: Faith and Fire
Wednesday Nights
Elijah emerged as the voice of unapologetic truth during a time of national crisis and moral decline. His ministry was marked by tenacious faith and holy fire – the same kind you will need in order to remain steadfast in current culture. Join trusted Bible teacher, Priscilla Shirer for a fresh look at Elijah and the difficult choices of obedience that kept him anchored, sharpened his faith, broadened his impact, and invited heaven’s fire to fall.
Joy of Living: The Letters of John
Thursday Mornings
The books of 1, 2,k and 3 John are letters written by the Apostle Joh, who also wrote the Gospel of John. In these three letters, john addresses many truths and are critical to our walk with the Lord. What he has to say within these letters can make the difference between walking, that is living, in condemnation or walking in forgiveness and freedom; between being deceived or knowing the truth; between having the assurance of salvation or living in the fear of death. John helps the believer understand what it truly means to live and walk in fellowship with the Lord.
