One-Day Class: Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts

THIS SUN OCT 25 9-10:30AM / STAFF LOUNGE

Join Doug Burford for Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts, a one-week class on October 25 from 9–10:30am in the staff lounge, where you'll discover how God has uniquely designed you and how to put those gifts to work both inside and outside the church. This class is open to everyone. When we discover how God has gifted us, we begin to discover the difference He created us to make!

Everyday People Making a Difference

FIND YOUR PLACE ON A SERVE TEAM

Ever wonder what the people who serve at Hillcrest on Sunday mornings do when they’re not at church? We’ve put together a fun video to give you a glimpse into their lives beyond Sunday mornings! These are everyday people using their God-given gifts to make a difference, and there’s a place for YOU, too! You don’t have to serve every Sunday to make an impact. Find your place. Use your gifts. Join a serve team!

Song & Story Night with Baptisms

WED OCT 28 6:30-8:30PM / SANCTUARY

Come hungry for a night that refreshes your soul and reconnects you with God and others. Song & Story Night is a special gathering for our whole church and community, filled with worship, prayer, and real stories of how Jesus is changing lives. The purpose of the night is to slow down, breathe, and be reminded that God is still moving in powerful ways, maybe even in your own life. We'll also rejoice in lives made new through the Sacrament of Baptism.

Plus, enjoy FREE Chick-fil-A nuggets and strips, along with homemade desserts. It’s more than a night together; it’s a chance to be encouraged, renewed, and reminded that you’re not walking alone.

Upcoming Sermon Series

SUNDAYS NOV 1-22

Could the worst parts of your life actually become part of a bigger redemptive story? Joseph’s life reveals an answer to that question. For four weeks we will follow Joseph from the pit his brothers threw him into all the way to the palace where he forgives them, tracing how God is present and at work even when we cannot see His hand.

+ Nov 8 The House Genesis 39:1-4, 11-21

+ Nov 15 The Prison Genesis 40:23-41:1-2, 9-16
