Assessment

Park Heights Baptist Church San Angelo is a real church, now possibly rebranded as 'The Heights Church' (theheightsonline.org). Pastor Larry has seminary training (Trinity Baptist College, M.Div. in exegetical preaching). Previously served 10 years in youth ministry. The Heights rebranding suggests a contemporary direction. Needs in-person verification of current status and doctrine. Rebranded from Park Heights Baptist Church; remains Southern Baptist (Concho Valley Baptist Association); lineage traces to 1907-1908 founding.
