Sunday Morning Worship

August 24 @ 10:30 am - 11:30 am

Feel the love every Sunday at 10:30am!

Looking for a church that takes faith seriously but not literally? A place where you can breathe, question, laugh, and maybe even find meaning in the chaos? You’re invited to worship with Hillside Community Church – a progressive, inclusive Christian community where curiosity is holy, compassion is central, and nobody pretends to have it all together.

Expect thoughtful messages, good music, real talk, and a community that actually cares. We blend old and new – ancient wisdom and modern vibes – in a laid-back, come-as-you-are environment. Bring your doubts. Bring your coffee. Bring your whole self.

Current Worship Series:

Rev. Tom Hathaway - December 7, 2025

Joseph and a Better Way to Be a Man

In a culture flooded with alpha male posturing and influencers who equate manhood with dominance, the Christmas story quietly hands us a very different model in Joseph. This sermon explores the crisis he faced, the choices he made, and how his self-giving strength shaped the boy who would become Jesus. Along the way we confront what our boys are being taught about masculinity today and imagine how the church can help raise a new generation of men who carry the fingerprints of Joseph and the heart of Jesus.

Scripture References: Matthew 1:18-25

From Series: "The Characters of Christmas"

As we enter the holiday season, we're spending time with the ones who first felt the shockwave of Jesus’ birth. A teenage girl brave enough to say yes. A bewildered carpenter learning to trust what made no earthly sense. Shepherds who lived on the edges of everyone’s attention. Magi who followed a strange star beyond the borders of their own traditions. Each one found the same truth rising in their lives like early light creeping over a horizon: this good news of great joy is meant for all of us.
