Our History
Hillside Church was founded in 1952 as a church plant of Wooddale Baptist Church of Richfield, MN—now Wooddale Church, Eden Prairie, MN. We settled on our present campus in 1969. In 1962, we planted Berean Baptist Church in Burnsville, MN, and in 1978, our people helped plant Friendship Church in Prior Lake. Hillside Church began its partnership with Bethany Academy (now United Christian Academy) , a K-12 Christian school that meets on our campus, in 1995, and remained its home until 2024. We are grateful for God’s faithfulness to us thus far, and look forward to seeing what’s next in His story for us!
