What is Worship?

Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of His worth. As you come to our Worship gatherings on Sunday mornings, be prepared to enter His presence. Some of the songs may be new to you at first. Listen to the words, letting them minister to your heart as you learn them. Some of the songs will talk about our Lord and His characteristics. Others will speak directly to Him as an expression of prayer and praise. Once you are familiar with the songs, they will become a part of your daily worship to the Lord. Come expecting God to touch your heart.

“Shout for joy to the Lord; worship the Lord with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs; enter His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise; give thanks to the Lord and praise His name.”

Celebration Choir

The HBC Celebration Choir is formed by students and adults of all ages committed to ministering to others through music. Weekly rehearsals are scheduled on Sunday afternoons from 5:00 – 6:15 PM where childcare is provided. No previous music experience is required. Come, join us, you will find a spirit of loving acceptance throughout the year.

Special Music

At Hillcrest Baptist Church, we are blessed with many talented singers and instrumentalists. We believe that our music ministry allows many who possess musical gifts to proclaim God’s message in songs. Most Sundays we feature multiple individuals who share their musical talents during the worship services. Special music includes vocal and instrumental solos, duets, trios, and ensembles. If you desire to be involved in special music please contact Bro. Chris.

Praise Team

We are in the process of building a Praise Team made up of students and adults who have advanced vocal and instrumental abilities that will enhance our existing worship and music ministry. If you are interested in auditioning, contact Bro. Chris.

Audio & Visual Support

If you enjoy serving behind the scenes with the technical aspects, we invite you to come and be a part of our Media Ministry. We offer opportunities of service in audio, video projection, lights, editing, etc. We are willing to train you if you are willing to serve. Please contact Bro. Chris.

Hillcrest Music & Worship Ministry

Jesus said in John 4, that God is seeking those who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. We strive to accomplish that by singing songs that have lyrics grounded firmly in the Word of God, and yet have music that is appealing to a wide range of people. With this in mind, Hillcrest Baptist offers worship services which seek to offer a blend of both hymns and contemporary praise and worship songs.

Ephesians 5:19 says to “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
