WHAT’S THE SERVICE LIKE?
Our weekend service begins at 10 AM and is made up of two primary elements: inspiring, engaging music and a relevant, dynamic message from the Bible. Each service lasts about 80 minutes and is designed to help participants of all ages and spiritual levels make a deeper connection to God.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT WHEN I ARRIVE?
Don’t worry – you won’t be pointed out or embarrassed. Come as you are, and dress however you want; from shirt and tie to sandals and shorts, everyone is welcome here. There is guest parking near the main entrance. Someone will be outside at the Welcome Table to say “hi” and to answer any questions. And grab a cup of coffee from the café on your way in!
WHAT IS AVAILABLE FOR MY KIDS?
Hills is a family-focused, faith community, so kids are important to us. Rather than segregate children off into various classes, they join the congregation for worship and fellowship. When families worship together, children receive an amazing intergenerational experience and have the opportunity to be influenced by the example of their parents and the congregation. An activity bag is available for each child for use during the message.
HI THERE!
If you’ve landed here, you’re probably looking for more than just information – you want to make a connection. Don’t worry – you’re in the right place. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a spiritual seeker who’s just starting to ask questions about God or a committed Christian who wants to sink the roots of your faith even deeper, you can find that connection here at Hills Church. At Hills Church, our desire is for people to make that connection; a connection to a new life in Jesus Christ, a connection with others in life-giving relationships, and to connect the journey of faith to an everyday life.
For us, the journey begins with our Sunday morning service.We know that it can be quite discomforting to attend a new church where you don’t know what to expect, especially if you haven’t been to church in a while, or maybe ever before. Hills is not a super-sized church. It is personal and comfortable, where everyone matters.
We’re looking forward to connecting with you! Hope to see you soon!

WHO WE ARE
Hills Church is an interdenominational church in association with the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel. We are Evangelical in as we are centered on the truth of the Scripture. We are Pentecostal as we welcome the work of the Holy Spirit. We are “Foursquare” as we focus on the ministry of the Lord Jesus: Savior, Healer, Baptizer with the Holy Spirit, and Coming King.
The overarching spirit of the Foursquare Church around the world is that of a family, rich in relationships. The attitude of humility, reverence and submission to the Father’s will that rises to compassionate concern for others is Jesus’ answer for the needs of our world. We seek to present Jesus to this generation in a manner that it can understand, with a message that answers its needs, and with a hope that speaks to its destiny. Today, there are over 3.5 million members and adherents in the Foursquare Church, worshipping in nearly 30,000 churches and meeting places in over 140 countries.
