The Team at The Higher Place is led by Pastor Paul and Debi Ilo

“It is our desire to help people feel at home as we serve our community and city. Because when it comes to building a foundation for life, there’s no better place to start than the local church! We are here to see ordinary people transformed into passionate leaders for Jesus. Come and see!” Paul and Debi Ilo (Lead Pastor)
