Love God | Grow Together | Care for the World. As a community we hope that above all else we love God deeply and authentically. We want to be a place where people are invited and challenged to grow into the men and women God intends them to be. We seek to express God’s heart of love to the world, with our words and with our actions, in our relationships and to His creation, wherever we find ourselves. Formally, we express this in our mission statement: Hillcrest Church is established to fulfill the command of God, to love Him with all we have, individually and corporately, and to love others as we love ourselves. Hillcrest Church finds its mission in the commission of Jesus, the Son of God, to make disciples throughout the world. Hillcrest Church expresses its mission in worshiping, baptizing, teaching, service, compassion, evangelism and other acts that further the Kingdom of God.
