Highland Community Church is a religious organization based in Wausau, Wisconsin, founded in 1984 when local supporters envisioned a culturally attentive evangelical church. Its aim is to invite people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to help them grow in their faith. Ken Moberg served as the founding pastor from 1985 for sixteen years, a period that saw growth in the congregation and in facilities, including early building phases completed in 1994 and 1999, and a 2006 expansion adding multipurpose space, offices, and classrooms, as well as the development of a Weston campus under the leadership of the church's second senior pastor, Jeffrey Hinds, who assumed the role in 2002. The church's staffing has broadened to include pastors dedicated to children, youth, and worship, along with campus pastors for both Wausau and Weston, and an executive pastor, supported by both paid staff and volunteers. It operates within the Religious Institutions industry and maintains a multi-site presence through its Weston campus in addition to the main location. A recent development cited is a February 2020 partnership with Truth Spring, Inc to initiate the Jobs for Life program, reflecting ongoing engagement with community needs.
