Sunday Morning Worship

August 24, 2025 @ 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.

Rev. Tom Hathaway - October 25, 2026

The Opposite of Love

What if the opposite of love isn't hate, but fear? Drawing on the First Letter of John, Martin Luther King Jr.'s interpretation of the Good Samaritan, and one of the most infamous political advertisements in American history, this sermon explores how fear shapes our choices, narrows our compassion, and influences our politics.

Scripture References: 1 John 4:16-21

From Series: "1 John: Belove(d)"

We progressive Christians are good at asking how God wants us to live. We’re less practiced at living with God, treating faith as a shared life rather than values we admire from a distance. First John has a word for that shared life: koinonia, fellowship, the kind of relationship where you work things out together. Over three Sundays we’ll walk this short, fierce letter and its claims: that you are loved before you are useful, that honesty makes real relationship possible, and that such love casts out fear. The title has a verb hiding in it. You are beloved, so be love.
