Hillcrest Congregational Church

Praise the Lord, all you nations! For great is God’s steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever. Praise the Lord! Psalm 117

We worship together, we support each other, we serve others.   Come Worship with us!

Worship is central to Hillcrest. Worship is about relationship—relationship with God, God’s creation, and each other. In worship we come together to encounter and experience God in ways that transform. Come and participate in the many spiritually rich opportunities to worship God in community with others.

Informal worship service: Sundays 8:30 a.m. This service has been described as “family” or “come as you are.” The Sermon is presented in an informal style and is interactive—the preacher asks questions that people actually discuss and answer!. Music varies from rock, folk, and country to classic hymns to chants. Members of the congregation assist in leading the worship.

Traditional worship: Sundays 10:30 a.m. This service features our organ and our choir, with hymns and anthems covering a spectrum of music from classical to gospel to praise. The Sermon is given from the pulpit. A Children’s Moment is included early in the service, after which children and youth leave the service to meet in the upper campus. Members of the congregation assist in leading worship, in presenting the Children’s Moment, and in the (all volunteer) Choir.

Communion From ancient times, communion has been celebrated within faith communities as a most sacred, central, form of encountering God in Jesus Christ and with each other. At Hillcrest, we serve Communion on the first Sunday of the month at both services, and weekly during the seasons of Advent and Lent at the 8:30 service. All are welcome at the Lord’s table!

Special Services Wednesday evening services in the special seasons of Advent and Lent are offered. Outdoor services, Music Sunday, Blessing of the Animals, the Longest Night and other special services are offered routinely.

Meditation Services are held bi-weekly and monthly in small groups.  See the Hillcrest Christian Meditation website for more information and times and locations.
