Ministries for Adults

“Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you”

Philippians 4:9

Hey, we get it.

We are often over busy.

But we believe that being active and engaged in your faith can be fulfilling on many levels. However, one size does not fit all. Just as our Church School for kids is intentionally designed to have storytelling, art, games, and music, we seek to offer a diversity of programs for adults to connect in different ways not only with God, but with other like-minded members of the Hills Church through learning and goodwill.

Backgrounds for the Lent and Easter season in the Church

LENT

Lent at the Hills Church is a time of reflection and preparation for the glory of Easter. In addition to services on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday, we have a variety of opportunities for adults (and families!) to prepare at home and in small groups.
