Let’s be honest – church isn’t exactly a cultural must-do anymore. There’s no social pressure, no fear of judgment from the neighbors if you don’t show up. And we’re not here to scare you with talk of hellfire or demand that you believe a checklist of doctrines to belong. That’s not our style.
So why church at all? Why Hillside?
We believe that, at your core, you are a beloved child of God – made in love, for love. But in a world buzzing with messages about who you should be and what you should chase, that truth can get buried.
You’re told you’re a consumer – that the next gadget or trend will finally make you happy.
You’re told you’re a worker – that success is just one more late night at the office away.
You’re told you’re a citizen – that loyalty to the right cause or country will give your life purpose.
While these roles can be meaningful, they’re not the whole story. At Hillside, we believe your truest identity comes first: you are God’s child. You are loved beyond measure, and you were created to share that love with the world.
We gather as a community to reconnect with that truth. Through worship, service, and walking the way of Jesus, we learn what it means to ground our lives in love. It’s not about perfection or piety – it’s about practicing compassion, building justice, and finding joy together.
If this resonates with you, we’d love for you to join us. No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you’re welcome here.
Come and see what Hillside is all about. We’ll save you a seat.
