About Us » Our Core Values

Connect...Connecting is about relationships; our relationship with God and with each other.  At Hillside, both of these relationships are critical.  You’re encouraged to take that first “connecting” step by attending a Sunday morning worship celebration that fits  your personal style of worship.  Two services are offered; at 9:30 (traditional/blended) and at 11 (contemporary).  Connections opportunities are also offered through Sunday morning guest receptions, guests luncheons, community groups, Bible studies, mission opportunities, and more. At Hillside, you’re not just a number; you’re valued as an active and growing member of God’s Kingdom. 

Grow…Putting your faith on cruise control isn’t what God wants from your life. God is all about gently prodding us to go deeper with Him.  This takes prayer, study, worship, service and more….all of which are done when we live life together as Christ’s community.  Hillside is committed to your personal spiritual growth!  Opportunities are regularly provided to help you move to the next level of your faith.

Serve...The Christian faith isn’t a spectator sport.  It’s not about making a Sunday appearance, getting your “faith fix” for the week and leaving.  Christianity is about expanding God’s Kingdom in the real world.  Opportunities for service might involve something as simple as serving as a greeter or as a part of our Connections ministry; or something as adventursome as joining a mission team that’s traveling to another part of  the world.  Opportunities are waiting!

Reach...What drives Hillside?  Transformed lives! That means we’re committed to reaching people who matter to God; and that means everyone!  While we realistically know that we can’t reach the world, Hillside seizes opportunities each year to build bridges with lost people.  Whether it’s in helping an inner city ministry, cooperating with an area elementary school or supporting a missionaries serving around the world,  Hillside is about seeing lives changed..
