Learning to live is what we are about and how we articulate our mission as a church.
We were created to glorify God. And we believe that through Jesus Christ and with the help of the Holy Spirit, that we can glorify God by being redeemed, transformed, and learning to live out our faith here & now.
Some people have boiled down Christianity into a set of beliefs--you are "in" if you believe the right things, but there's no expectation of changed lives. So at Hillside we want to help people know and trust God. We want to apply the truths from the Bible in our everyday lives. We want to orient our lives more and more around the kingdom of God--loving what He loves, investing ourselves in His purposes, and engaging the world with biblical grace and truth.
At Hillside we gather and worship together on Sundays, but the Christian life isn't just about Sundays. We are learning to live connected... growing... fruitful... lives that bring glory to God. All because he loved us first and gave himself for us! (Gal. 2:20)
