New Here? Here's Why We Love This Place

September 8, 2025 | Jackie Corley

Walking through the doors of a new church can feel like a big step. It doesn't matter whether you’re seeking, returning, or just curious. We’ve all been there.

Here at Church on the Hill, we want you to know you don’t have to believe to belong.

You’re welcome here, just as you are, so Welcome Home!

Here is what some of our members had to say about why they love this place:

David said, "We love our small group, and our son is really exploring his faith within the Youth Group. He has come out of his shell and is playing in the Youth praise band and ushering. The Church staff is amazing and truly care about the members and visitors. I personally have been affected by gaining new relationships that have formed within the men's groups. We have found a home at Church on the Hill and love it here!"

Mavis said, "I love my church because I love the heart of the people here. We gather together to worship and serve. The hearts are turned to God as we are fed, love and get to serve together."

Mark said, "I’m am glad to be attending COTH because from the first day we attended, the people were so friendly. We were welcomed by the ministers as well as the members. We joined a Sunday school class, and the people were so welcoming. I have become involved in a few serving opportunities, and we have found a home at this church."

As you can see, Church on the Hill is more than a Sunday morning; it’s a place where faith becomes family, and where real life meets real hope.

A Heart for People

At our core, we care deeply about people. Not just the ones who show up on Sundays, but our neighbors, our community, and the world.

We believe everyone matters to God, so they matter to us.

Whether you're struggling, celebrating, skeptical, or searching, you’ll find a place here to be known, encouraged, and loved.

Worship with Purpose

We gather each week not just out of routine, but to remind ourselves of something greater than us. Our services are a blend of heartfelt worship, meaningful teaching, and space to respond. We aim to create an atmosphere where God’s presence is real and relevant, and where people leave feeling hopeful, equipped, and spiritually refreshed and continue with worship throughout the week because

Worship is a lifestyle.

Real Community Happens Here

Church isn’t meant to be a solo journey. That’s why we emphasize connection and community. From Sunday morning smiles and coffee in the Café, to small groups and serving teams, there are so many ways to meet others and share life together.

We believe life is better together.

Growth That Changes Lives

No matter where you are in your faith journey, there’s always a next step. Our heart is to help people grow in their relationship with Jesus at their pace, in their way.

We believe transformation is greater than information.

Through Bible studies, mentorship, serving opportunities, and practical teaching, we want to help you move from where you are to where God is calling you to be.

A Vision Bigger Than Us

At Church on the Hill, we don’t just exist for ourselves. We’re passionate about being a church on a mission of loving our community, supporting global partners, and showing up in tangible ways to meet real needs.

We believe in missional living, which is about service not "serve us".

We were made for this!

Our vision is simple: Love God. Love People.

If you’re new here, we hope this gives you a sense of what we’re about.
If you’ve been around a little while but still feel on the edges, come a little closer. We’d love to get to know you and help you find your place in this story.
