Jesus taught that love is center of everything. It’s that to which the whole of scripture points. It’s the only worthwhile measure of our lives. It’s the only thing that can change us and our world for the better.
Both ourselves and our world are transformed when we ground our lives in love. At Hillside, we believe that the whole process of transformation can be summed up with the sentence:
God’s love is for you to share with others through concrete action.
God’s love is for YOU…
The Christian journey begins with the recognition that you are unconditionally, irrevocably, ridiculously loved by God just as you are. Whoever you are, wherever you’ve been, whatever you’ve done in the course of your life, you are already loved and accepted.

It might not seem revolutionary, but it’s active love like this changes the world for the better.
