Next Steps
New to Hillside and not sure where to start? We get it — that’s exactly why NEXT STEPS exists. It’s your simple, no-pressure way in: learn what our church is all about, meet some of our staff face-to-face, and find a small group where you can belong. Whatever “getting connected” looks like for you, this is the first step. Come as you are — we’ll help you find your way from there.
Learn MoreRooted
Ready to Grow in Your Faith? ROOTED is an essential step in discipleship here at Hillside. Our hope is that every person who calls Hillside their church will engage in the Rooted experience. This is where you will explore the Bible, share stories and practice rhythms essential to a healthy spiritual life. Rooted helps you build a solid foundation for your faith.

Connection doesn’t stop with a group. These studies and events are additional ways to grow deeper — in your faith, your relationships, and your walk with God. Whatever season you’re in, there’s a next step here for you.
