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.

Rev. Tom Hathaway - May 11, 2025

Survival of the Connected

What do a grove of ancient aspen trees in Utah and the early Christian church have in common? More than you might think. In this sermon, Rev. Tom explores how both Pando—a single living organism disguised as a forest—and the early church grew strong through radical connection and shared resources. Far from a feel-good fantasy, this kind of generosity was strange, even scandalous, in its time. But it was also magnetic. If you're longing for a faith community that survives not by hoarding but by holding on to one another—this one's for you.

Scripture References: Acts 2:42-47

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!
