Higher Ground Church of God in Christ was founded in 2001 by Pastor James E. Alberts II under the leadership of Bishop S.N. Frazier. Pastor Alberts, a native of Austin,Texas has been in the ministry since he was 14 years old. In the past nine years, Pastor Alberts has grown this ministry from just few members to a ministry that inlcudes hundreds. Our humble beginnings of holding services in a local school cafeteria serve as a reminder of how far we have come as we fellowship in our current 3,000 sqft facility. We are a diverse congregation, made up of different races, creeds, and colors believing in the words of Christ, "If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me."
