You Were Made for Family
We weren’t meant to follow Jesus alone. Today Pastor Markcontinues The Jesus Way as we begin our BELONG movement and discover what it means to be part of God’s family—a community where we are known, loved, encouraged, and formed to become more like Jesus. If you’re our guest today, welcome! We’re so glad you’re here and hope you feel at home.
Led by the Spirit
Today in The Jesus Way, Pastor Mark continues our ABIDE journey with “Led by the Spirit.” How do we recognize the Spirit’s leading and learn to follow? Together we’ll discover how God’s Spirit forms the life of Jesus in us from the inside out. Today’s text is Galatians 5: 16-26.
Abide in Me
Our prayer is that today you’ll draw closer to Jesus and experience His presence and love. In Week 2 of The Jesus Way, Pastor Mark shares “Abide in Me” from John 15—what it means to stay connected to Jesus and let His life change ours.

Have your Bibles open to Nehemiah 5 and be ready to follow along.
Leading the Way on our Knees
Today Pastor Mark resumes our summer series, Hand Me Another Brick, a chapter-by-chapter journey through Nehemiah. Though written over 2,400 years ago, this ancient book has a timely message for our lives today.

The LORD, My Shepherd

When God Gives You a Burden
We’re glad you’re here as we launch our new summer series, Hand Me Another Brick, a verse-by-verse journey through the book of Nehemiah. Today Pastor Mark begins with the message, “When God Gives You a Burden.” Before God rebuilt Jerusalem’s walls, He first stirred the heart of one man. We’ll discover how God still calls ordinary people to make an extraordinary difference when they begin to care about what He cares about. Whether you’re facing a personal challenge or sensing…
Families on Mission
We’re glad you’re here as we celebrate Father’s Day and conclude our Learning to Love Well series. Today Pastor Mark shares the final message, “Families on Mission,” from 1 Peter 3:1-9. Whether you’re a husband, wife, parent, grandparent, student, or single adult, God desires for our relationships to reflect Christ and make the Gospel visible to those around us. We’re also grateful to conclude our Spring Season of Prayer, thanking the Lord for the many ways He has answered prayers,…
Forgiveness: Oxygen for the Family
We’re glad you’ve joined us as we continue our Learning to Love Well series. Today Pastor Mark will be preaching Part 4, “Forgiveness: Oxygen for a Family.” Every family and every relationship eventually experiences hurt, conflict, and disappointment—but God does not leave us without hope. Through His grace, forgiveness can bring healing, freedom, and restoration where bitterness and pain once lived.
Covenant Love
We’re glad you’re here as we begin a brand-new series, Learning to Love Well, exploring God’s design for healthy, Christ-centered relationships and families from Mother’s Day through Father’s Day. Today Pastor Mark launches the series, and we also begin our 7-week Spring Prayer Emphasis. Let’s seek the Lord together and believe Him to do greater things in our homes, church, and community!
Hillcrest Is Growing
We’re glad you’re here as we conclude our We Are Hillcrest series with Pastor Mark’s message, “Hillcrest Is Growing” from John 15. Today we’ll be reminded that real spiritual growth doesn’t come from trying harder but from abiding in Jesus—the true source of life and lasting fruit. We’ll also gather around the Lord’s Table celebrating communion and our shared life in Christ. Let’s worship the Lord as we reflect and respond to Him together!
