WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

Wonderfully Made

This Pride Month, we’re diving into a sermon series that celebrates the full beauty and complexity of how we’re made. Wonderfully Made is a declaration against shame, silence, and exclusion—a bold reclaiming of the truth that every body and every identity bears God’s image. Whether you’ve been embraced by faith or wounded by it, this series is for you. Together, we’ll explore scripture’s deep affirmation of queer lives, challenge the Church’s complicity in harm, and name the sacred worth that’s already in you. Because you’re not just welcome here—you’re a reflection of divine creativity.

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!
