Hillsdale Community Church, United Church of Christ

About this church

Hillsdale Community Church, United Church of Christ, worships Sundays at 11:45 a.m. in its Southwest Capitol Highway sanctuary. The service lasts about an hour and includes music, an interpretive sermon, and a small intergenerational congregation; children are welcome to remain throughout. The church explicitly welcomes people across age, background, belief, sexuality, politics, and stage of faith. One heading on the detailed worship page still says 10:30 a.m., but the current homepage, page body, and repeated invitations all publish 11:45, making that the best-supported time; calling ahead is sensible if the discrepancy matters for a particular Sunday.

Hillsdale began as a German-language Sunday School in 1904, became an organized Reformed congregation in 1918, and later entered the United Church of Christ through denominational mergers. Its current identity is open and affirming, with full participation in worship, sacraments, leadership, and fellowship extended across sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, race, class, and family structure. Community work has included support for Hillsdale Crossing, native and sustainable landscaping, the Crossroads Community Garden, early Meals on Wheels space, and help founding a Habitat for Humanity affiliate. The church is now repurposing campus space with compatible nonprofits. Official pages do not describe parking, accessible entrance, attire, Communion schedule, nursery, assistive listening, livestreaming, or detailed order of service.
