The parables of the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son are more than sweet stories about things gone missing and found again. They paint a picture of God as one who refuses to give up on us, who searches tirelessly until the overlooked is noticed and the forgotten is restored. In these parables, Jesus shows us a God who rejoices over each return, no matter how small it may seem, and insists that every single life carries immeasurable worth. They remind us that in the kingdom of God no one is disposable, and the celebration is never complete until all are gathered in.

OUR VISION
Grounded in Love
In a time of increasing partisanship and division, Hillside Community Church boldly imagines a world in which people of every race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, gender expression, and sexual orientation can come together to meet, talk, listen, share, explore, and grow in love.
Each week, through worship that draws on the deepest insights of the Christian scriptures and through active programs of community service and outreach, the Hillside community works to build just such a world.
If you are looking to be part of an action-oriented, love-centered Christian community, we’d love to have you join us!
