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!

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 fall
Equipped for the Task (Co-Ed)
Wednesday 6:20-7:30 pm
Vlad Baraniuk
This class will provide a level of missions education (Biblical foundations, historical perspective, worldviews) combined with practical applications of personal discipleship and a weekly challenge of Gospel sharing. The goal of this class is to learn about missions, be challenged to share the Gospel, and be burdened for those without the Gospel around DeSoto County and around the world.
Joy of Living: Judges and Ruth (Women)
Thursday 9:30-11:00 am
The book of Judges covers the period in Israel’s history after the death of Joshua until the establishment of the monarchy under King Saul. At that time the people were ruled by judges whom God raised up to deliver His oppressed people—oppressions brought on by their own disobedience. In Judges we see a continuing cycle of God’s blessing, Israel’s rebellion, God’s disciplining, their repentance, and God’s deliverance and blessing again. In the stories of people such as Deborah, Gideon and Samson, we see God’s faithfulness, His patience and His grace. The book of Ruth is set during the time of the judges, and relates the story of a young woman of Moab who became the great-grandmother of David and an ancestress of Jesus. From Ruth we see that participation in God’s kingdom is not decided by blood, but by obedience that comes from faith. A beautiful story of love and grace, the story of Ruth reminds us that no matter how evil the time, God has His people; no matter how hopeless a situation may seem, God is greater. No matter what—God’s plan and purpose will be accomplished.
Luke in the Land: Walking with Jesus in His First-Century World (Women)
Wednesday 6:20-7:30 pm
Follow Kristi McLelland through Israel as we study snapshots from the Gospel of Luke to see where the stories of the Bible took place. Over 7 sessions, challenge the way you read the accounts of Jesus through teaching videos that take you to locations in Israel like Bethlehem, the Sea of Galilee, Gethsemane, Jerusalem, and the road to Emmaus. Along the way, you'll see how Jesus, the Messiah, brought His kingdom to earth for everybody.
New support studies coming this fall
Anxious: Fighting Anxiety with the Word of God (Women)
Wednesday 6:20-7:30 pm
We live in a broken, sad, scary place. We don’t need to watch the natural disasters and political unrest in the news to know what our bodies already know. Our bodies get sick. Our minds are fragile. The mortality rate for humans is astonishingly high. There’s plenty to worry about, and the world is full of faulty solutions for our anxieties. True peace comes when we learn to hold God’s Word up to what worries us. There, we learn we can’t fix ourselves; we can’t protect ourselves. Instead, the Bible tells us we can rest, knowing that Jesus walked into the broken, sad, scary places to rescue us and love us. He is the One who fixes. His is the only protection that matters. Join Scarlet Hiltibidal in this 8-session study to learn how we can practically take hold of the perfect peace that is only available through God as we dive deeply into His Word, embrace the practice of prayer, and live authentically in the support of our communities of faith.
