Twenty years ago, on Feb. 4, 2001, the Church of the Highlands held its first service in the Mountain Brook High School Fine Arts Auditorium.
“We had about 400 show up in the first service,” Pastor Chris Hodges said in an interview Thursday, exactly 20 years later. Fewer attended the second service, one of the few times the church has shrunk since, he recalled.
