Welcome!

God's word is preached faithfully each and every Sunday in the historic sanctuary of South Highland Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in Birmingham, Alabama.

Established in 1888, South Highland serves \"in the heart of the city, for the whole of the city, with the passion of Christ.\" People from all areas of the city and its suburbs attend SHPC for a Christ-centered community of worship, study, belonging, renewal, growth, and outreach. We're a congregation eagerly seeking to bring glory to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit through an emphasis on worship, the study of Scripture, and prayer, and a mission-minded church focused on living out the call to be the hands and feet of Christ in Birmingham and in communities worldwide.

December 7, 2025 | Luke 1:67-80 — The old priest, Zechariah, made mute by God for nine months, is able to speak at his infant son's circumcision ceremony. His first words are a song proclaiming that God has not forgotten his people, and he points to Jesus. Rev. Cort Gatliff teaches that in our days of darkness and division, we also should look to Jesus, because God has not forgotten us.
