Hillside Covenant Church

Join us for our "A Song for Summer" series.  Growing up in Southern California, my parents took me to church on a regular basis. I grew up knowing that there was a God, that Bible had stories about Moses and King David and even grew up knowing about Jesus. It was until my Junior year in High School that I went from knowing about God to knowing Him in a personal way. I realized, God did not wa...

Join us for a second detour from "A Song for Summer." In this message I fill out the "picture" I have of Hillside in the "notebook" of my imagination. Wanna help realize Hillside's Be Light in the World vision? It's as simple as this: Come to church, chat up an old friend, draw out a new person in conversation, compliment a kid, sing with abandon, lean into the prayers, and listen carefully to the...

Join us this Sunday morning at 10:00 AM as we continue in a series of studies from Psalm 119. We will be taking a closer look at the second of the 22 sections of Psalm 119 (verses 9-16). It’s the only section that begins with a question, “How does a person keep his/her way pure?” We will explore what a pure way looks like, why we should desire it in the first place, how the word of God and the pur...

Ever wanted a dog so badly your health took a dive? Billy Colman did, and in this week's sermon from Psalm 119, I share what came of his deep desire for a canine companion. If you're not camped out somewhere in the sticks over this Independence Day weekend, we hope you'll join us in person for the worship service at 10:00 AM. We'll be in week 2 of an encouraging series called "A Song for Summer."...

Reflecting back on the ‘Resurrection Surprises’ sermon series, we briefly talk about the highlights that really stuck with us. Then Pastor Jane unpacks this phrase from the May 22 sermon: “Flawed, forgiven, and being transformed”. We are all children of the Fall who lost our intimate relationship with our Creator in a moment of wrong thinking. God’s plan for restoring this relationship rested on t...

So you couldn't attend the church retreat 'cuz you had soccer practice, semester finals, or that anniversary party for your favorite uncle and aunt?

We are continuing our series “Resurrection: The Greatest Surprise Ever”. Up to this point, we’ve been journeying through the first messages after the pouring out of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Today, we’re going to see how Peter’s audience responded to his Holy Spirit empowered message. It’s surprising to say the least. Peter’s answer to this response is going to provide us with two a...

Do you have a favorite mug? I do. Though a Peet's aficionado, my favorite mug is shiny porcelain Starbucks swag. It's a manly mug, with Superman proportions, narrow at the waist and broad at the shoulders. If any of my bleary-eyed family members get to my favorite mug before I do on Saturday morning, I put on a brave face, but I'm a little piqued. This Sunday we arrive at Week 3 of our post-Easter...

Did you play youth soccer growing up? I did. Two electrifying seasons on the Fighting Cougars under the capable but somewhat volcanic leadership of Coach Terry. Coach Terry was determined to turn my brother Darren and me into skilled soccer players. He failed, but that didn't diminish the fun at. I loved my steel gray uniform, my teammates, the post-match snacks, and especially the striking, hand...

Acts Chapter Two is all about the excitement of Pentecost, the launching of the church and the power of its impact, the unleashing of wind and fire and an explosion of expression that grabs everyone's attention, the inspiring message of a transformed man before a huge multicultural audience hanging on his every word, and the galvanizing of formerly frightened believers who are boldly living their&...
