Denomination: Disciples of Christ
We love single people, divorced people, widowed and married people. We love old people, young people, middle-aged people and crying babies. We love this community and we love sharing it with others. We love people who have not been to church in ages and those who never miss a Sunday. We love people who are filled with faith and those who are wrestling with doubt. We love people who could use a prayer right now and those who pray often. We love this city, and we are called to serve, to share, and to welcome our neighbors in God’s name and with God’s grace.
We are followers of Jesus, called by God to gather and nurture a growing community of disciples.
Since 1915, Hillyer Memorial Christian Church has joyfully welcomed all people to worship, serve, and grow in their relationships with God and one another. Hillyer is a congregation of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and dedicated to being a movement for wholeness in a fragmented world.
Some churches want something from you; we are more concerned with what God wants for you: a worshipping community, holy friendships, dynamic spirituality, a sacred purpose, joyful generosity, and a faith worth sharing.
"Who you are TO God is always more important than what you believe ABOUT God."
— Rev. Troy A. Tatum, Senior Minister, Retired 9.30.2022
What We believe
As part of the one body of Christ, we welcome all to the Lord’s Table as God has welcomed us.
We believe in the centrality of scripture, recognizing that each person has the freedom - and the responsibility - to study God’s Word within the community of the church.
We practice the baptism of believers, while also recognizing baptisms performed in other churches, and believe that through their baptism all Christians are called to use their gifts in love and service.
We hear a special calling to make visible the unity of all Christians, proclaiming that in our diversity we belong to one another because we commonly belong to Christ.
