Going to a church meeting for the first time can be scary. But, don’t worry. We do everything we can to make our guests comfortable. Relax. You’re among friends.Our church is comprised of a wide range of worshippers. You’ll notice some people like to get up during the more upbeat songs and dance, clap their hands, or use one of our colorful flags. Others may sit, kneel, or simply sing along.Feel free to worship God in whatever way you want. If you prefer to sit and listen, stand and sing, dance, or wave a flag you are free to do so. We encourage participation, but exactly how you choose to participate is up to you.

Come as you are!  Seriously.  We are a casual dress church.  On a typical Sunday you will see a variety of dress.  Everything from khaki pants and button up shirts to shorts and tshirts.  Everyone dresses comfortably.  Relax.  No need to dig your suit out of the closet.

Because we encourage participation in worship, flexibility is important. However, our services typically run about an hour and a half. Your time is valuable, and we work hard to make sure we don’t waste it. That’s why we are obsessed with making sure that everything we do Sunday morning honors Jesus.

We encourage children to participate in the music portion of our service.  We are a very family friendly church that doesn’t mind the kids participating in worship.  In fact, we prefer it!  After the music, the kids will be released to Sunday School (before the sermon begins in the Auditorium).

Our worship band plays with a contemporary style with an emphasis on modern worship songs. Worship is not just something we do, it’s who we are. The musical portion of our worship gathering is not treated as a warm up, but rather it is an integral part of how we experience God and community.You are invited to come and worship in whatever way you like. Make yourself at home!

We believe that Scripture is our highest authority.  It is the primary way that God reveals Himself to us.  As part of that, we believe that the Scripture teaches that the Holy Spirit still speaks as He did in the book of Acts.  Because of this you may see the gift of prophecy and tongues in operation during one of our meetings.  We always make sure that everything is judged by Scripture.  We recognize that many of these gifts have been abused throughout history, and so we work hard at making sure that Hilltop is a safe, but spiritually rich, place to worship.
