SMALL GROUPS:
At Hillside, we want to help you follow Jesus in all aspects of your life. One of the core ways we do that is through Small Groups—groups of 5—12 people who meet regularly to connect, grow, and serve together. We would love to help you find a group that’s right for you!
Small Group Launch, a five-week, introductory/transitional small group, will be starting up on January 28, and is a great way to jump into a group!
