Statement of Faith

Hillside Church of the Savior is a non-denominational Christian community of people who have received life from and are seeking to follow Jesus. We believe that we have been incorporated into Jesus Christ's body, His Church, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Thus, we understand ourselves to be brothers and sisters to each other with God as our Heavenly Father. We share a common calling and desire to love God and our neighbors; to worship Him with our lives; to be witnesses to His love and grace through Jesus to those around us; and to serve Him within every sphere of life. We affirm wholeheartedly the scriptural teaching regarding the deity and work of our Lord Jesus, exemplified in the following statements:
  • For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures. 
    (I Corinthians 15:3-4)
  • This saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 
    (I Timothy 1:15)
  • He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?' Simon Peter replied, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.' 
    (Matthew 16:15-16)
  • Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.' 
    (John 14:6)
  • For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord. 
    (II Corinthians 4:5)
