Community At Hillside

Our vision is not to be a church with Community Groups, but a church of Community Groups, where the Biblical expressions of serving, caring, encouraging, exhorting, and praying for one another are carried out in love by the people of God journeying through life together — not merely fulfilling a weekly mandate to go to "community group."

To be placed in a Community Group, we ask that you attend Community Formation Class to discover our vision for Community at Hillside Fellowship.

Community Formation is where you'll learn what biblical community is, what it isn't, and how to take your first step into community at Hillside. As part of the class, you'll be placed with others in a similar region and life stage, creating a natural pathway into authentic relationships while forming a new Community Group.

Join a Formation Class

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:23-25

COMMUNITY GROUPS FAQ

Community Groups are closed fellowship groups of committed believers who meet consistently and live out faith together. They're a place to build meaningful relationships, encourage one another, and walk through life alongside other believers. Our hope is that the relationships you build in Community will become long term friendships within the local body of Hillside, lasting for years and hopefully even decades.
