Hills Church Process: 1 X 1 X 1 = 1
1) One weekly gathering with the church family for worship, service, encouragement, and equipping.
1) One circle of friends that you do life with and share the journey of following Jesus together
1) Once a day meeting with Jesus in prayer and the Word
When these things are integrated in our life, we begin to grow and become whole.
Acts 2:42 NKJV
The Church's Commitment:
1) Apostles Teaching: Church for Community
2) Breaking Bread: Circles for Authenticity
3) Prayers: Communion for Intimacy (with God)
What connects these things together is fellowship, the importance of relationships.
