Life rarely unfolds according to plan. This four-week series explores what happens when it doesn’t—when the job disappears, the diagnosis lands, the relationship ends, or the future shifts overnight. In those moments, we wrestle with fear, anger, and uncertainty. But what if faith isn’t about pretending everything happens for a reason, but about discovering grace in what happens next? Together we’ll ask what it means to trust God not just with the life we hoped for, but with the life we have.

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!
