FAQ


  • Main entrance is located at the front of the building. Look for the canopy with the cross on top!
  • Parking also available in the lot at the back of the building (which may be easier for the elderly, families with young children, and those who have difficulty walking).
  • Once inside, our greeters will welcome you, direct you, and assist with any questions you have!
  • Feel free to stop by the Gathering Hall to grab a cup of coffee or a donut (available before and between services!) 
  • Services are usually around 75 minutes long.
  • We begin with a time of worship through music, with music that is culturally relevant but mindful of our legacy, seeking to honor Christ in a way that draws us into His presence. Check out our Spotify playlist to get a feel for the kinds of music we sing.
  • Our pastor then preaches a sermon, explaining how we can apply the Bible to daily life. Typically, he preaches in an expository style—an in-depth look at a specific passage of Scripture. You can watch videos of archived sermons here.
  • There is a special “tithes and offerings” moment in each service, when we invite the congregation to quietly reflect on the generosity of God and for members and regular attenders to consider how they can give financially towards the ministry of Hillside. (Hillside will never pressure visitors to give).
  • Other elements often found in the service: Communion (usually the first Sunday of each month), ministry updates, faith stories, child dedications, baptisms, and more.
  • Need prayer? Immediately following the service, members of our prayer team will be up front to pray with you, if you’d like.

Come as you are! There is no dress code.

We offer kids programming during all services. During the summer, for birth-grade 4. During the school year, birth-grade 6.

We'd love for your child to join us!

Kids Check-In instructions:


  • Before the service begins: Check your child in at the Kids Check-In counter (in "The Landing," just inside the back entrance of the building).
  • You’ll be asked to complete a brief form with some basic information about your child.
  • A name tag will print for your child. (Families with kids birth-age 2: a security tag will also print for your child, which you must present upon pick-up.)
  • Bring Your Child to their class:
  • Birth-Age 3: Drop off in their classrooms.
  • Age 4 and older: Bring your child to the beginning of the worship service. Midway through, they will be invited to go to their class.

(Of course, your child is welcome to remain with you in the service, if you'd prefer!)
