Our Purpose

Hillside Christian Church - called to embody Christ 
as servants to our neighbor, 
seeking to welcome all to experience 
God's life-changing grace.

 

Core Values

▫ A dynamic worship experience that is biblically based and musically rich
▫ A spiritual place where life is shared together, while valuing the unique individuality and giftedness of each person 
▫ An open communion table, welcoming to all
▫ A safe place that values the rich diversity of each of us, while celebrating our unity in Christ
▫ A commitment to disciplined spiritual growth, whether alone or in vital and vibrant community settings 
▫ A family of faith committed to meeting the needs of our community and the world through service to God and others.

Vision Statement


Under our new organizational structure, we are now actively working to develop a compelling, new Vision Statement (where we believe God is calling us to go) and a Strategic Plan (how we will actively respond to the call) so that together we can achieve the purpose stated above.

 

What we Believe as Disciples of Christ

As members of Hillside Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), we confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, and proclaim Him Lord and Savior of the world. 

In Christs name and by His grace we accept our mission of witness and service to all people. We rejoice in God, Maker of heaven and earth, and in the covenant of love, which binds us to God and one another. 

Through baptism into Christ we enter into newness of life and are made one with the whole people of God. 

In the communion of the Holy Spirit we are joined together in discipleship and in obedience to Christ. 

At the table of the Lord we celebrate with thanksgiving the saving acts and presence of Christ. 

Within the universal church we receive the gift of ministry and the light of Scripture. 

In the bonds of Christian faith we yield ourselves to God, that we may serve the One whose kingdom has no end.
