Word I Following the Trail Guide

Scripture: A Recap of Psalm 119
Rev. Nate Powell

Join us on Sunday to learn how to explore the Bible for all it is worth. Learn three ways to study the Bible and grow in your understanding of how God reveals Himself through the Word of God.

Don't Go It Alone... Find Your People

Life Groups are places where people build meaningful relationships, grow in faith, pray together, ask honest questions, and encourage one another as they follow Jesus. Some of life's most meaningful moments of growth happen not only on Sundays, but also around tables, in living rooms, and in everyday life together.

Ready to find your place? Sign up to join a Life Group or become a Life Group leader. We’ll help connect you with a group where you can belong, grow, and pursue new life together in Jesus.

Email SCAM Warning

PLEASE BE ALERT & CAUTIOUS

There have been recent email scams targeting church members by impersonating Hillcrest staff. If you receive an email that appears to be from a staff member or anyone within HCC asking you to take some kind of unusual action like:

+ Click a link or download an attachment you didn’t request

+ Wire money to a specified account

+ Send money to cover funeral expenses

+ Purchase gift cards and reply with the serial numbers

+ Responding to request to contact a pastor or staff regarding a financial transaction

This is a form of an email SCAM known as “phishing” or “whaling.”

Recently we have seen suspicious emails being used to deceive readers. Please do not respond to any suspicious emails. Our staff will never make such requests to anyone. If you have questions, please contact us at info@hillcrestcov.org.
