About Us
Hillview Community Church is a community of believers who, first and foremost, value the Presence of God. Christianity is not about a religion; it's about a personal relationship with the presence of God.
We believe not only that God is real but also that He wants to meet you tangibly. When you come along to Hillview, come expecting to Encounter God in a personal and real way.
We are passionate disciples of Jesus who are being His presence everywhere and seeking to make the world a better place. We focus on the important disciplines of a healthy and balanced personal and devotional walk and endeavour to live and apply our hearts and gifts in practical ways with whomever we encounter in our daily lives. As sons and daughters of the Living God, we look to steward, lead and govern within our nation for King Jesus.
The vision of Hillview church is to seek after:
one heart | pure heart | healed heart | whole heart | strong heart | wise heart | courageous heart
To love the Lord God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength To love our neighbour as ourselves To go into all the world and make disciples of all nations by being positive agents for Freedom, Justice and Righteousness in Christ Jesus!
