    Highland Park Presbyterian Church is a gothic style Cathedral Church located in the heart of Highland Park Dallas Texas. It is an inclusive Church with both Traditional and Contemporary Worship services, Biblical teaching, numerous groups, serving opportunities, and don't forget the exceptional concerts that they host, they truly exist to Glory God and spread His Word to the communities around them. They are extremely accommodating with the Lord's Supper if you are not able to walk down to the altar to receive from the Ministers and will bring the elements to you for you to receive at your pew. Individuals there are generally friendly and helpful in directing you to where you need to go.

    Beautiful architecture, very clean, bright and welcoming atmosphere. The worship service in Elliot Hall was a mix of traditional and contemporary music and the worship leader is a talented singer. The teaching was valuable and in accordance with the Bible.

    Prestonwood Plano was a very welcoming church. The Iron Works Life Group fellowship at Prestonwood was one of the best groups I’ve been part of.

    HP Pres has become, from first arriving in Dallas from the UK 2 years ago, a wonderful church home and community for me and my wife.

  • Andrew Franklin7 years ago

    An awesome church if you are looking for a family. The sermons are relevant, gospel-centered, Bible-based, and every week I am challenged to see how the gospel impacts my family, my work, my service, my time, everything. Wonderful kids and student ministries with facilities getting a refresh some time in 2019. Also a new parking structure being built to accommodate a growing church. Traditional and Contemporary music styles too. Both excellent quality, just different. Great Sunday school opportunities to grow, not just for information but for transformation!

    This Church cleans the upstairs rooms with products that are not chemically safe for breathing. I have left a message and hop this will be taken seriously.

    This is a great church that does a lot for the community both locally and internationally. Just started up a Celebrate recovery ministry and welcome anyone struggling with hurts habits and hangups to come join. It’s a great program to work through problems in life in a community with other believers where you could be open and authentic in a safe place.

    I attended a wedding there. The church is very spacious & well appointed. The stain glass windows are beautiful. My only issue was finding a place to park though to be fair it was a wedding so parking may not be an issue on other days.
