Hillcrest Congregational Church

Everyone is welcome – we are an Open and Affirming church!

Whoever you are…

We affirm the oneness of the human family and embrace all of God’s children, regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, age, sexual orientation or other labels that could divide or distinguish one from another.

Wherever you are on life’s journey…

We offer a range of programs and ministries for children, youth, and adults; for families, couples, and singles; for those in search of something and for those with something(s) to offer.

Hillcrest welcomes you!

To be served by, and to serve within, a thriving community of faithful seekers responding to God’s call.  You are welcome to…
