Hello Hillcrest,
God is truly at work in our community and church family. On the Ministry Council, we have the privilege of hearing encouraging reports from our leadership and various ministries, and it is a constant joy to see how He is drawing people toward Himself.
As our church family grows, we are currently exploring what future expansion could look like for our building while simultaneously assessing options regarding a potential land sale. While these two paths are being explored in parallel, they are not entirely dependent on each other. We would deeply appreciate your prayers for wisdom and discernment as we seek to provide a lasting legacy for future generations.
Our hope is that Hillcrest continues to be a place where you can forge relationships and use your unique skills for the advancement of the Kingdom of God. It is in those shared moments of growth and serving that we transition from being a group of individuals to truly functioning as "one body" (1 Corinthians 12:27). As each part of the body contributes under the lead of Jesus, we embody the promise in Ephesians 4:16—watching the body grow and build itself up in love.
Thank you for all who generously give your time, talents and resources. Your consistency helps Hillcrest operate predictably and with a steady budget, allowing us to stay focused on our shared mission.
Finally, may you each experience the peace that surpasses all understanding in our unpredictable world (Philippians 4:7)
Casi Knibbs
Ministry Council Chair
