HISTORY OF HIGHTOP

There has been a church called  "The Church at High Top" for over 100 years. It first began with an outdoor brush arbor...then was upgraded to a log building...then to a plank building...and finally to a concrete building, as it stands today.  

It was in the Father's heart to have a clear and true witness of His Son high in these Kentucky hills just five miles outside of Jackson.    But the work of God was not without opposition, and for 20 years the church was closed. Exposed to vandalism and decay, the building fell into disrepair, but God kept the walls of this little church standing.

God's purposes for High Top also stood firm. And in 1983,He brought John and Bonnie Wade and their family from Lexingtonto repair and rekindle the light of His testimony at High Top.

In 1995 a new roof was put on the church by the firstAssembly of God of Woodstock Illinois. And in 1996 the Church wascompletely remodeled by First Assembly of God of LexingtonKentucky.

Every Sunday morning the bell from the church steeple ringsout across the hills and hollows with an open invitation for allto come and hear the good news that calls people out of thebondage of sin into the liberty found only in Christ. ChurchServices:
