Welcome to This PlaceOne Winter Night by Martin Machacek

Hillhurst isn’t your ordinary church experience. 

We are a progressive christian community, a mix of age and experience and we welcome you. Our Sunday gatherings are relaxed and inviting, blending the relevant spiritual issues of the day with reflections rooted in the scriptures; metaphors of life-giving hope. Using humour, story and an invitation to question, we journey to discover the message the Spirit has for us both individually and as a community. There isn’t much dogma, doctrine or dust in this beautiful historic site. At Hillhurst we are seeking opportunities to serve and be served.

Rev John one Sunday morningDuring the service Children are cared for by an experienced children’s minister whose curriculum, Godly Play teaches positive, inclusive values rooted in our faith tradition.  Youth Church happens for kids in Jr. and Sr. High.

Nursery care is also provided, although babies are welcomed in the sanctuary.

Our music is a blend of traditional and contemporary, from Bach to Leonard Cohen.

After the service, there is time to enjoy a hot lunch prepared by fellow members of the congregation, and throughout the week there are educational programs aimed at inviting you to ponder and create a meaningful life.

Whoever you are, wherever you are at… join us on the journey.
