Hillside Church

Hillside Church is an exciting, contemporary ministry. Sunday morning services incorporate a casual atmosphere, a blended style of praise and worship music, and relevant teaching. A diverse congregation, the church ministers to all ages and backgrounds, but especially to families, singles and students.

What makes the church special, however, is its caring and gracious spirit ― a spirit directly attributable to Christ’s presence in the church’s life and people.
