More than sixty years later we continue to answer that call. We, the people of Hillcrest Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, seek to be a community of Christians who celebrate and live in openness to the voice of the Still Speaking God. As we seek to live out our Guiding Purpose, to “affirm the oneness of the human family and embrace all of God’s children,” we welcome everyone, includ
ing persons of all sexual orientations, gender identity and expression, mental and physical ability, socio-economic status, marital status and family structure, age, race, and nationality, into the full life and ministry of the church. Through Hillcrest’s many ministries and programs, the people of Hillcrest commit both individually and collectively to develop and nurture spiritual growth. We strive to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, to fulfill God’s vision for humankind and all of creation, and to share this vision with the wider community. You will learn something about who we are and about our worship, education, fellowship, and social service activities through this site. Feel free to contact us with your questions and comments. And come to worship and to participate. You will be blessed, and add a blessing to us. Hillcrest is proud of its place in the Pleasant Hill and Contra Costa County communities and proud of its relationship with area churches, civic organizations, interfaith groups, and social service organizations. We are proud of our relationship with our national church body, the United Church of Christ (UCC), and it’s regional body, The Northern California Nevada Conference–UCC. We are proud of our social service ministries and the work they do, proud of our ministers, staff, and volunteers, and proud of our many ministries, programs, and worship opportunities. But mostly we are humbled—by the opportunity to answer God’s call for our lives and for mission and ministry within our community. Together we grow. Together we impact our own lives, and those of the greater community and world. Whoever you are, wherever you on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
