Our Mission:
With love at the center of all that we do, it is our hope to journey beside our youth as they grow in faith together and discover how God is calling each one of them to use their gifts to help build a just world for all.
Backyard Ministry Opportunities!

Hills Church Youth are AMAZING!
I invite you to join me in thanking God for the service filled hearts of our teens! Last Sunday our Middle School Youth began preparing the community gardens for our Farm to Table Vegetable Growing Project, yesterday our Cookie Ministers baked cookies for THREE organizations in need! Nothing can stand in their way of loving God and loving their neighbors in need!!

Below you will find service project opportunities that support those in need in our local and surrounding communities! Each Service project will also include a time of connection, discussion and learning about the work of the organizations our youth will be supporting. Together alongside Rev. Anne Marie and adult mentors our teens experience how serving others is a way we can share God's love and live as followers of Jesus!

Dearest Hills Church Families,

Blessings to all of you who care for others!
Blessings to all of you as you experience this day reserved for the celebration of those who play the important role of Mom, parent, caregiver...
You are loved...

It is my prayer that Mother's Day provides you a sacred opportunity to see yourselves through the eyes of someone else – someone who loves you. May you see glimpses of the Divine One's loving presence as you move in the world today. You are a gift!

Check out this beautiful link below about the struggles and joys of parenting from the testimony of author Glennon Doyle...

"Parenting and Pain" is a creative collaboration between SALT, Glennon Doyle, OWN's Super Soul Session, and Penelope Dullaghan - a big, bold thank you to both Glennon and Oprah for sharing their inspiration and wisdom so freely over the years. This Super Soul Session is helping us get through the joys and struggles of parenthood." https://vimeo.com/233988781


Peace and joy,
Rev. Anne Marie
