Sundays at nine.
Everyone's welcome.

Hillsdale is a neighborhood church just outside Kokomo. Come as you are, for a Sunday, a meal, or just to say hello. You don't have to be a member, and nobody will make you stand up.

What Sunday looks like here

8:45

Park right at the building. Someone will hold the door, hand you a bulletin, and point you toward coffee. There's an accessible entrance.

9:00

Worship. Hymns, prayer, our handbell choir on some Sundays, and a sermon straight from Scripture. Kids are welcome in the service; nobody minds a little noise.

10:00

Coffee and conversation in the fellowship hall. This is where you'll meet people.

10:30

Sunday school for adults and children. Come if you'd like; head home if you'd rather.

Pantry
The Hillsdale/Zion Food Pantry is open Fridays, 12–3 pm.

A Methodist congregation that believes grace changes people.

"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."Matthew 5:48

We hold the Bible as our only rule of faith and practice. Sermons walk through whole books of Scripture, and Sunday school digs into them further. If you have questions, bring them.

We believe God doesn't just forgive sin; He frees us from it. In the Wesleyan tradition that's called being perfected in love, and we mean to pursue it together, patiently, as a church family.

We feed our neighbors. The Hillsdale/Zion Food Pantry serves Howard County every Friday, and our dinners raise money for ministries like LifeWise Academy.

We're small, and we like it that way. You'll be known by name within a couple of Sundays.

Pastor Kent Kessler

"Some people believe in luck. Christians don't. Christians do believe in miracles."From a recent sermon
