WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

The People's Sunday

Most churches have a professional at the front doing the religion on everyone else’s behalf. Hillside is part of a tradition that has always believed that’s backwards. The People’s Sunday is the Sunday we prove it: from the first candle to the final blessing, every word comes from the congregation. No clergy, no script, just the people usually in the pews leading the whole thing start to finish. People you know, saying things you didn’t expect. What will they say? Come find out!

What God's Love Is Like

Ever wondered how many Christian denominations exist? The Center for Global Christianity estimates a mind-blowing 47,000! If getting the "right" beliefs is what makes a Christian, we'd at best have a 1-in-47,000 chance. Clearly, it's not about perfect beliefs. What truly defines us is experiencing God's love— unearned, undeserved, freely given. In this message, we dive into this foundational experience. What is God’s love really like? How do we know we've felt it? Join us as we explore Jesus' parables to uncover the profound, transformative power of God’s love in our lives.

Scripture References: Luke 15:11-24, Matthew 18:23-34, Matthew 20:1-16

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!
