Hillside’s Vision
“To be a diverse community of Christ followers seeking to serve like Jesus.”
We are a DIVERSE COMMUNITY
For in Christ Jesus you are all sons and daughters of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male or female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
~ Galatians 3:26-28
We embody the diversity of our community by:
● gathering together to worship, learn, and pray as a family
● being welcoming, inclusive and hospitable to all, as all are made in the image of God
● remaining accountable one to another in love and committed to patiently dialogue with each other
We are CHRIST FOLLOWERS
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than this.~ Mark 12:30-31
As Christ followers, we:
● trust in Jesus, who is our Saviour and Lord
● transform ourselves (individually and corporately) to live and love like Christ
● love God and our neighbour
● share the good news of God’s Kingdom (Luke 4:43)
We seek to SERVE LIKE JESUS
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
~ Mark 10:45
Pursue what is good for all.
~ 1 Thessalonians 5:15
We serve through:
● generosity with our time, gifts, and abilities
● cultivating our hearts towards joyful service
● acts of love in our homes, church, neighbourhood, and beyond
