WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

The Gospel According to Matthew

What if God’s kingdom looks nothing like we expected? Join us as we journey through Matthew’s Gospel – where the poor are blessed, the outsiders are welcomed, and the last are first. It’s a story that challenges the status quo – flips power on its head – and invites us to live with courage, compassion, and hope. Between now and Easter, we’ll follow the footsteps of Jesus – the one who shows us that love is the greatest force in the universe – and it’s for everyone.

Rev. Tom Hathaway - March 16, 2025

It's Not You, It's Me

In the heat of World War II, an Alabama town found itself home to thousands of Nazi POWs—some of Hitler’s most feared soldiers. What happened next shocked the world. This sermon dives into the radical, countercultural call to love our enemies—not because they deserve it, but because of who we are. What does it mean to refuse to let our enemies define us? And how can love do what hate never could? Watch now to find out.

Scripture References: Matthew 5:43-48

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!
