Your Neighborhood Church. We’re just around the corner, and we invite you to stop in!
We are a church—not a fortress. Our doors and hearts are open wide, offering a quiet but powerful welcome to all who seek connection, healing, and hope. Though tucked away, we are a vibrant community rooted in hospitality and warmth.
God is moving through our church in remarkable ways, using ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Together, we are committed to mending the brokenness around us and building a world shaped by love, compassion, and grace.
We invite you to join us—bring your hands, your heart, and your story—as we walk together toward something beautiful.
Our Denomination
Hillcrest is part of the Minnesota Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church — but our worshiping community reflects a rich tapestry of backgrounds and life experiences. What unites us is a shared vision: to be The Blessing Place — a church where grace is lived, hope is shared, and everyone is welcome.
Our Faith
The United Methodist Church believes God’s love for the world is an active and engaged love, a love seeking justice and liberty. We cannot just be observers. So we care enough about people’s lives to risk interpreting God’s love, to take a stand, to call each of us into a response, no matter how controversial or complex. The church helps us think and act out of a faith perspective, not just respond to all the other ‘mind-makers-up’ that exist in our society.”

More Than Just Sunday Worship
Small groups provide experiences through which God can be encountered and experienced in our midst. Opportunities to get involved and make personal connections range from Book Club to Men’s Breakfast, Bad Girls of the Bible and Photography Group.
