Welcome to Mission Hills!

Mission Hills is a church family—a family who wants to extend to you the same love, hope, and joy that we have received. We know that we cannot be all things to all people. But we do want to be one thing to all people. We want to be the place where anyone, of any age, of any level of spiritual maturity, of any economic class, of any ethnicity, of any church background—or no church background—can meet God in a way that transforms their life…forever!<br><br>If you are a first time guest, we would love to meet you! Stop by the Welcome Center for a free gift.

"Why?" and "How long?"

Habakkuk 2:4

“I never lost faith in the end of the story. I never doubted not only that I would get out, but also that I would prevail in the end and turn the experience into the defining event of my life, which, in retrospect, I would not trade.” Admiral Jim Stockdale

“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” (Excerpt from The Problem of Pain by C. S. Lewis)

Hebrews 4:15-16

Faith works best in the dark.

What we must know about faith when God doesn’t make sense:
1. Faith believes that God is too marvelous to make a mistake.
2. Faith believes that God is too kind to be cruel.
3. Faith believes that God always knows best and does best in His time.

“If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.” C.S. Lewis - Mere Christianity

Never lose faith in the end of the story.

1. God Loves you
2. God is on your side
3. He is coming after you.
4. He is relentless
