Heights Christian Church has served the neighborhood and surrounding community for more than 100 years.
But when Rev. Amber Mattingly became the churchâs pastor at the end of February and started talking to residents about it, she said she was met with a reaction that suggested the congregation at 1703 Heights Blvd. was a new and unknown commodity.
âOur first goal is to be relevant in the community. That is something that over the past several decades, we have completely lost touch,â she said. âWhen I went talking to different people, they had no idea who we were and where we were, and weâve been in the neighborhood since 1912. So that says something.â
