Living for the Glory of God

Hillview Baptist Church exists to glorify God by faithfully proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, making disciples, building up believers, serving our community, and advancing the mission of the local church.

“The church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.”
— 1 Timothy 3:15

Our mission flows from our identity as the church of the living God. We seek to faithfully uphold and proclaim the truth of God's Word, make Christ known, and help people live in obedience to Him.

We seek to:

Faithfully Proclaim the Gospel

We proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, calling people to repentance and faith in Him.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.”
— Romans 1:16

Make Disciples

We seek to make disciples who grow in their knowledge, love, obedience, and likeness to Christ.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”
— Matthew 28:19–20

Equip Believers

We equip believers to grow spiritually and faithfully serve Christ and His Church according to the gifts God has given them.

“To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.”
— Ephesians 4:12

Build One Another Up

We seek to strengthen one another through fellowship, prayer, biblical teaching, encouragement, and mutual care.

“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:11

Serve Our Community

We seek to demonstrate the love of Christ through truth, grace, humility, compassion, and practical service to others.

“As we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone.”
— Galatians 6:10

Raise Up Godly Leaders

We seek to develop faithful men and women who are equipped to serve Christ and His Church, including biblically qualified leaders for local congregations.

“Entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”
— 2 Timothy 2:2

Plant and Support Churches

We desire to see healthy, faithful, Bible-preaching churches established in communities where the gospel is needed.

“And when they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned... strengthening the souls of the disciples.”
— Acts 14:21–22

Live as Faithful Witnesses

We seek to live in a way that reflects Christ in our homes, workplaces, communities, and wherever God has placed us.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
— Matthew 5:14

Above all, we want everything we do as a church to point people to Christ, uphold the truth, and bring glory to God.

“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 10:31
