Hillside Community Church

I love this church. My family and I have been attending this church for years and it has only gotten better. Pastor Aaron is amazing. You can follow his teachings very easily and it is truly enjoyable to listen to him speak. The worship band is one of a kind. The music is amazing. The children’s ministry is also amazing. My kids love going to the children’s classes. The staff is amazing. On a side note they have a full coffee café with fresh pastries which is also very helpful when trying to get the family fed before going to church. I look forward to church every weekend. Stop in Saturday evenings or Sunday mornings. You will truly enjoy Hillside.

I have gone to this church since 4^th grade and it is truly a house of God. Wonderful people wanting to serve and grow in Gods love. I would recommend and pray that everyone could find a church like this where they feel at home and love going to worship.

Hillside Church is an amazing place to build a relationship with our Lord and Savior! It is a larger church, however, there are many small group opportunities to plug in and get to know people and grow as a church family! Another great opportunity is all the programs for kids! Live on Mission!

Pastor Aaron is the best, you have to hear a service for yourself, but they don’t have five stars for no reason!

We moved from out of state and found our new home church quickly at Hillside. We love every element of the church. Attend and get involved to see for yourself!

When I became a Christian a year ago this was the church I started going to. Because of the kind of community this church strives to be, my transition into a new way of life was really easy and I was immediately accepted. Pastor Aaron always has such an amazing message and you can tell God really speaks through him. I also attend the college bible study that this church has going on every week which also helped with my transition and gave me a wide group of friends who have now become my second family. Great church, amazing community and amazing message.

From the first time I walked through the doors at hillside I felt welcomed and at home. They have an awesome worship team, incredible children’s program, a really nice youth program and the new Pastor Aaron brings a wonderful freshness to the church. I had started attending after we had moved from Northern California and had watched my family church that, I had grown up in go through a big change with getting a new pastor and was very nervous for hillside but it has been an awesome change. God us good!

Pastor Aaron has made Hillside a Wonderful, Welcoming Place to Worship and Learn. If you have kids they/​you will be, «Blown Away» at how cool the kids area is. The Sermons are Great, The Music is Great and the People are Friendly. Give Hillside a try, you Won’t be Disappointed.

We have been going here or one of my Catholic churches for 12ish years now. Although both have value they both put on a different spin. Not always good though. I leave my Catholic Mass after Holy Communion because I don’t want to listen to «commercials» and unnecessary «chatter».
Hillside now pushes money and «commercials» at the beginning, right after the songs. I hate it and if my honey didn’t want to sit up close I’d avoid it til after the commercials. Also, as nice as the auditorium setup is, it does not feel like a church but a staged show.
As nice and Christian as it is to help people in Africa or any other country, I personally believe that we have our first obligation to our immediate neighbors. Hillside does push for feeding Africans way too much for me.
However, the people there are incredibly friendly and seemingly very sincere!

This is a great church. The pastor is a great communicator. The kids programs are outstanding. I highly recommend Hillside church to anyone looking for a great church to belong too.

I’ve found Hillside to be a vibrant church that cares about the community and the world. Pastor Aaron really delivers with messages week after week that challenge my heart and I am always encouraged by the teaching and fellowship. The music is polished, yet very worshipful with a balance of celebration and times of reflection.

I love this place! The new pastor, Aaron McRae, is bringing in a younger crowd than Dave has in the past. The songs for worship are great and Aaron is very personable. Actually, everyone at the church is very welcoming and friendly. It was renovated and completely redone a while back, and the changes they have made are great! There’s a cool waiting/​lounge room and a coffee bar. The place is gorgeous now and much more efficient. The biggest problem used to be parking, but there is a new parking structure/​lot that fixed that problem. (They also have a shuttle service from Chaffey College a few minutes away)
I really love the changes that have been made and I really believe God has great plans for this church. I’m so happy to call this church my home.

My family and I have been attending this church for about 20 years now, and from my experience, you get out of a church about as much as you put into it. In any large church, you have to take the initiative and join a small group, attend some of the activities, and get involved (help out!). In the small group setting is where you’ll make the more «intimate» contact with other members, and develop those long term relationships with fellow believer’s that we all need. Our Senior Pastor, Aaron McRae, is a WONDERFUL and inspiring teacher, our amazing Worship Team helps connect you even closer with the Holy Spirit as you join in singing your praises to the LORD, and the Prayer Team is available after every service to pray with you if you feel so led! I could go on and on about all the wonderful happenings at HCC! Such a blessing to be able to be a part of this place we love to call «our home away from home!»

Hillside has been my home church for 7 years and I’ve had the privilege of serving as one of the worship leaders and the creator/​director of the Hillside Arts Academy. This church is all about reaching people out of the «norm» of typical outreach. Through sports and arts (and many other avenues), they provide a unique presence in the community. The people of Hillside — they are THE BEST! Once you meet, connect, and do life with them — they carry you, love on you, pray for you and live out Christ’s call of grace and love. I’ve received it and feel it every time I’m there.

Hillside is a great church. Pastor Aaron (new) is awesome. He’s young and in touch with not only the younger crowd but the older crowd as well. Always has a great message that’s not pushy. Another message mentioned the church goers being snobby. I don’t feel that is the case at all. Smile and say good morning and they will quickly reciprocate. Mention ur new and be prepared to get a friendly smile and all the help u need. It’s a great place to worship and relax. You can view the message while enjoying deelish coffee and sweets in the awesome café.

My husband and I used to go to Greg Laurie’s church in riverside. We really enjoyed going there but the drive got to be to much. After searching and trying many different churches we came to hill side. Last year they got a new paster who is just amazing. He seems so real and isn’t afraid to admit where he struggles. As well as encouraging the church to get involved in small groups. My husband and I did and it has been such a blessing. Everyone is so nice and open. I would recommend this church to anyone who wants to know God better and get to know people that follow Christ.

Hillside offers something for most anyone looking to encounter God. Teaching at Hillside is Biblically based and relevant; small groups offer the opportunity to share insights and meet new people; the children’s programs teach about God and are engaging. My family and I have learned a lot at Hillside. We have made friends, grown in our faith, and have been given opportunities to serve! Overall, Hillside Community Church rates a 5 for me and my family!

I attended Hillside all through my child and young adult life. I left briefly when I attended college but returned after I had my first child. The youth programs are amazing. They are the best in the area. I am totally loving the new pastor Aaron. He is relighting a fire in Hillside. His sermons are amazing and touching.

We have attended Hillside for 11 years. The new Pastor Aaron is Awesome! Although we were sad when we heard the news of Pastor Dave leaving… we are so excited with Aaron’s energy. We know that God is going to do great things through him. The children’s ministries are great. My 6 and 16 year old love it here. Heart to Heart (a woman’s study) is a great way to connected.
The Art’s Academy & Upward Bound Sports are amazing programs as well.

The Pastor (Dave Burns) is really great. His services are a bit more low key, and calm, but his points come across just as effectively. He gives great sermons, and really feeds the soul, and brings you closer to God. One of the best things about this Church is the awesome classes for the kids. Loving faces all around, amazingly talented singers, and a new large facility make this church very welcoming. There is also a coffee house inside with the cutest name– Holy Grounds. :)
You also have the choice of sitting out in the homey living room like area to watch the sermon on the big screen while drinking your coffee & eating a cinnamon bun. A great church to become a member of.
