A Loving Family

Hillside is a Non-denominational Christian Church that is passionate about family, friendships, and discovering who God made us to be. Hillside is a family - a place to call home. It's a place to find hope, help, and healing. Whether you're an atheist or a lifetime follower of Christ, or not sure what to believe, you are welcome here.  We aren't perfect and don't claim to be, so chances are you'll feel pretty comfortable at Hillside.  We're caring and cheerful, but we'd never embarrass you.  We believe the Bible is God's love letter to us and each Sunday you'll hear helpful messages from the Bible.  Check us out any time!

Meet our Interim Pastor

Jim Hanna

MY PASSION:  I consider myself a spiritual and emotional hope coach. My desire is to glorify God by helping people become whole and holy followers of Jesus. I am excited to share God’s grace and truth through preaching, teaching, and caring for the dear people at Hillside Church.
 
MY ROLE:  As the intentional interim pastor for Hillside Church, I am helping the congregation prepare for its next pastor. I am leading the church to rediscover its purpose and unique position in the community. My desire is to guide the church towards health and prepare it for its next chapter of ministry.

MY FAMILY:   I've been married to my bride, Liz, for 42 years. We have five children, three girls and two boys, and five grandchildren. We love laughing as a family and having fun. We also love sports of all kinds. Most of all, we love spending time with our grandchildren, watching them grow and develop.

MY BACKGROUND:  I am originally from Chicago (Go Bears!). I went to Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, where I met my wife. I received my Bachelor of Arts at Colorado Christian University and a Master of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. In 2009, I received a Doctor of Ministry degree from Bethel University in St. Paul, MN, in organizational systems and church leadership. Over the past forty years, I’ve pastored several churches throughout the Midwest and California and served as a small group pastor of a large church.

Hillside is a place where your whole family can enjoy the morning. We have safe and caring nursery and childcare along with a Sunday morning children's ministry we call the KidZone. We also know that kids can be a little nervous their first time in a new setting so children are welcome in the auditorium and parents are allowed to observe with their children in the KidZone. The nursery for infants and small children streams the service so that you don't have to miss it in case your little one has a difficult morning (we all have them, right?).
