SUMMER Guide
Hillside Fellowship 2025
May- Aug
We’re So Glad You’re Here
Welcome to Our Summer Guide of Events!
As we look ahead to summer, we are filled with anticipation for all that God will do in this new season. With longer days and new opportunities to grow in faith and community, this is a great time to find meaningful ways to connect here at Hillside.
Our theme for the year, Focus on Jesus, will guide us as we continue in the Word together. This season, we’ll be continuing our study in the book of Luke, reflecting on Jesus’ life and teachings as we deepen our faith.
In this guide, you’ll find a comprehensive calendar of events. You can also access this information on our website and app. Be sure to check out hillsidefellowship.org/summerguide for detailed descriptions and registration information for each ministry event.
We’re looking forward to a season filled with growth, connection, and an intentionfilled focus on Jesus.
Who we are
At Hillside we believe that Jesus Changes Everything! We want to be a people that live humbly under the authority of God’s Word and joyfully under the Kingship of Jesus. It is our heart to be a people that are warm and welcoming to every soul that we encounter. An inviting people that inspire others to come and join us on the mission that Jesus has set before us. A nurturing and selfless body, where people can be free to be vulnerable, to grow, and to flourish. To be an optimistic people who focus on the mattering things of life, and deeply encourage each other.
Knowing that we struggle in this fallen world and can never live this out perfectly, we depend on one another to be honest and authentic, patient and forgiving, extenders and recipients of extravagant grace. And we rest in the goodness of God, remembering that we are not on our own. It is His mighty power at work within us, and He is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine.

We are continuing our study of Luke, focusing on God’s forming power in our lives. We’ll see how Jesus calls, shapes, and equips His disciples, showing us what it truly means to follow Him.

ADULTS
Christianity is not a solo sport. When Jesus calls us into a relationship with Him, He calls us into a relationship with His people. At Hillside, we are truly convinced that Jesus changes everything; and practically, we believe this change happens in the context of community. It is in these groups we can grow together as disciples and care for one another as family in authentic relationships.
