WHAT WE DO

Know God.
Weekend services: 
We recognize this is when the church gathers.  Our weekend services are the front door to the church.  If people are not ministered to in a weekend service, chances are they will not make a connection with the church.  We focus our energy and efforts on making our worship gatherings the best they can be. 

Find Freedom
Small Groups:  Small Groups are the small group ministry at HillSpring Church. It is vitally important for people to build lasting relationships with people inside the church. We believe Small Groups are a valuable ministry tool to minister to people and help people building those relationships.

Discover Purpose
Growth Track: 
We believe God created each person with a purpose and our goal is to help them discover that purpose. Through the growth track we hope that people find their 'sweet spot' in ministry. There are two great days in a person's life: the day they are born, and they day they find out why. 

Make a Difference
Dream Team: 
We believe it is important for the growth of every believer to discover their God given gifts. Each person has been created to serve a purpose in the body of Christ. Those who serve in the church grow faster and deeper in their relationship with Christ. The body of Christ needs each member to serve and be involved in the mission of advancing the kingdom. The church functions best if all its members of the body are engaged in the ministry.
