The Highway Team is cross-denominational array of licensed professionals, and lay ministers. We are made up of men and women who are committed to war on behalf of any believer who desires freedom. In truth, we, the above facilitators, are just like you. We are all struggling through life, dealing layer by layer with fixed beliefs, emotions, and behaviors that are still keeping us from living a 'completely' victorious life. We group together, sometimes weekly, to encourage one another in the truth. We are all very aware of how much the body of Christ is needed to remind us of our humanity and to strengthen our resolve to become like Christ. We are not exempt from troubles, temptations, or sorrows. We fall down. We sin against our brothers. We fall short in our commitment to love one another. We are very conscious of our own need for grace and mercy, and therefore are more desirous of extending grace and mercy to our fellow Highway travelers.
"Standing firm in united spirit and purpose, striving side by side and contending with a single mind for the faith of the Good News; not for a moment being frightened or intimidated in anything by our opponents and adversaries." Philippians 1:27
