We believe that all people matter to God, that God wants you to enjoy life, and that following Christ is the best offer in the world.
We believe that all people are welcome in God’s eyes and in God’s loving embrace. Our church comprises individuals from many backgrounds, but we are united under the common bond of God’s love and being a blessing to the Bloomington area. We care for each other because we are a family united in Christ and blessed by God.
Jesus reached out to people of all ages and backgrounds. Here at Hillcrest United Methodist Church, we want to do the same. We have different ministries geared to various life stages and needs. We have a place for everyone to fellowship together and minister to others.
We want you to share in God’s blessings in our church’s life. Join us at Hillcrest so the blessings may flow both ways!
We invite anyone to help with their hands and hearts as we strive to create a better world for God’s children.
We provide financial and physical help to VEAP and Bridging. At Loaves & Fishes we serve meals to those who are hungry, and we give to Simpson Services and Emma Norton’s.
Through the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), we provide assistance during times of disaster, war and hunger. Our outreach efforts reach around the world. The world is our parish.
The mission of Hillcrest is to be a Christ-centered church, committed to care, guided by the holy spirit, bearing witness to our faith in God through action and work in our congregation, community, state, nation, and world. Here are the multitude of ways our mission was put to work through financial contribution, donation and participation the last year.
