Over the last nearly two years, our staff, elder board, and church leadership have prayed and worked towards defining what the Lord is calling Church on the Hill towards in this next chapter of our 173 year history.

VALUES

  1. Crowded Heaven

    Prioritizing those beyond our walls

    Jesus gave all churches the mission to make disciples. Matthew 28:19-20

    Jesus valued those who were lost beyond those who were found. Luke 15:4

  2. Bended Knees

    Infusing prayer in all we do

    “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

  3. Tattered Bibles

    Wearing out Bibles since 1850

    “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God p may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”  2 Timothy 3:16-17

  4. Rooted Family

    Being fully known and fully loved

    “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”  John 13:34-35

  5. Tangible Hope

    Loving people in practical ways

    “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”  Romans 15:13
