Plan a Visit

• 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, baptism, 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.

HILLSIDE KIDS: SUNDAYS

This summer, we are pleased to offer programming for kids birth-entering grade 4 during both services! (Note: no elementary kids programming on Sunday, May 25.)

We’d Love to Welcome Your Child On Sunday! Here’s how to do it:

1. Check-In: Check your child in at the Kids Check-In counter (in the check-in room towards the back entrance of the building. Look for the sign!).
   • 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.
2. Bring Your Child to Where They Should Go:
   
   • Birth-Age 2: Drop off in their classrooms.
   • Age 3: 9:00 service – drop off in classroom. 10:45 service: bring your child to the beginning of the worship service with you. Midway through, they will be invited to go to their class.
   • Age 4-Entering Grade 4: Bring your child to the beginning of the worship service. Midway through, they will be invited to go to their class.

HILLSIDE YOUTH: SUNDAYS
