Who We Are
We are a vibrant family of faith rooted in God's Word, gathering together to worship, and equipped to share the love of Christ with the world.
We are a caring community that is passionate about serving others and growing closer to Christ. We believe Jesus Christ is our Savior, the source of our compassion and acceptance and the drive behind our desire to share God’s love.
A Message From Pastor Richard
“Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’”- Matthew 28: 5-7
“He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!” That’s what we proclaimed on Easter morning once again.
On my Sabbath Monday. Briana and I skied at Breckenridge (pictured above). The snow is not as great as it has been in previous seasons given the low snowpack, but we still found some places with good snow above timberline. And the views were spectacular as always. While we skied, I reflected on Holy Week. For me, it was a very special and meaningful week.
I wanted to thank everyone for helping to make this week so special. I was really touched by the special music, that we celebrated the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper twice, both on Maundy Thursday and Easter, and that we worshipped with so many people both inside and outside of our church community. The Good Friday service at the Methodist church was deeply moving as we listened to the account of Jesus’ passion and death and worshipped with our Methodist brothers and sisters. Then on Easter, as always, I was so pleased to see so many guests come to worship, whether they were family and friends or our neighbors in the community.
As I said in my Easter sermon, the main points I heard from the Easter scripture were: Jesus says “do not be afraid,” “he has been raised,” and let’s share the good news of resurrection to the world. Let’s not stop celebrating Easter. Let’s share the good news of resurrection in word and deed with all we meet.

He is risen! He is risen indeed! That’s what we proclaimed on Easter morning. And we’re called to proclaim that every day.
Glory be to God for another wonderful Easter here at Church of the Hills!
May the Love of God be with you,
Pastor Richard
