We're so glad you've found us today.
Whether you're new to Hillbank Church or completely new to church and unsure what to expect, the most important thing is this: come as you are.
Shirt, tie, t-shirt, jeans, trainers, broken, hurting - no matter where you've come from or what you're carrying, you will find a welcome here.
The message of Hillbank Church - and the gospel - is simple: love and acceptance.
Let's help you get started:
Are you new to Hillbank Church but have been to church before?
Maybe you've recently moved to the area, or you're looking for a new church home. We'd love to help you get connected and settled in.
This sounds like me...
If this is your first time exploring faith or church life, we're here to walk alongside you. We know stepping into something new can feel daunting, but you're not alone - we'd love to meet you and help you feel at home.

What to expect when you get here
You will be met at the front door by our friendly greeters. We normally have one man and one woman to meet you and welcome you in the door.
From there you will be helped to find a seat in our main hall.
Our family service begins at 11:15am and usually finishes around 12:15pm. Tea and coffee is served before the service, from 11:00am, and you are welcome to join us as a visitor and chat to us before joining the service.
We typically start with one or two songs of worship, followed by a short message for the children.
The children then go out to their own group activities while the adults stay for the main message.
We close our service with a final song of worship.

What to expect on a Sunday
Going to a church for the first time can feel a bit scary, so here's a walk through of what you can expect at Hillbank Church.
You'll be met at the front door by our friendly greeters - usually a man and a woman - who'll welcome you in and help you find a seat in our main hall.
Our family service begins at 11:15am and usually finishes around 12:15pm. Tea and coffee is served before the service, from 11:00am, and you are welcome to join us as a visitor and chat to us before joining the service.
We typically start with one or two songs. These are a way for us to express our thanks and praise to God. Don't worry if you don't know the words or the tune - feel free to listen or join in as you're comfortable.
After the songs, we have a short message for the children, which is a brief teaching moment for them before they head off to their own group activities. While the children are in their groups, the adults stay in the main hall for the main message - a talk that helps us understand the Bible and how to apply it to our lives.
We finish the service with a final song of worship.
We don't take a collection or ask for any money or donations from you.
You're very welcome here, no matter where you're at on your journey of faith - or if you're just starting to explore.
