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!

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!
