Hillside Church San Jose

KaT

I went there last Sunday 11am service and found this church to be very 'dark'... the 'worship' was a lot about Jesus's blood and dying versus hope, light, faith... NOT a good feeling or advice for a Sunday! The sermon was also quite dark versus being uplifting... I wanted to leave the entire time but stayed because my friend asked me to come... But in ALL my life, traveling to 26 countries, living in 3, and attending various churches... this was the darkest sermon / vibe I ever felt... 😔 Jesus came to teach us about LOVE... about life and how to have it more ABUNDANTLY... he came so that we love each other, live in faith, become more Christlike... he didn't come so that we focus on his death or his blood... but his LESSONS... his TEACHINGS 🙏 I felt this church got it all wrong and instead of feeling better after church and uplifted, I felt horrible and just wanted to crawl into a hole. If you desire a lighter church with a strong pastor, please check out Evergreen Valley Church or Jubilee Bridge church. I do not work for these churches, I just want you to see that you have options and see for yourselves the stark contrast. Thank you for listening 🙏

Wonderful place of worship! Biblical teaching & good worship music. Very supportive community & Adult Fellowship classes (Sunday School ) are wonderful with excellent teachers also. Women's weekly bible study is a excellent way to study the bible with a large group of women which also breaks onto small groups. There are now Saturday women's bible study meetings too. I love this church after having been in a very large church for 37yrs.!

Welcoming, with full-spectrum age-related classes, Bible Studies, Small Groups, Fellowships, Services, Child Care, & even Day Care. I highly recommend you try this out if you like Biblical teaching, or just want to learn more about Christianity.

I just want to thank this wonderful church that I love so much~! Praise and worship is passionate and from the heart. Pastor Joe Brown's Biblical teachings have been right on target for me time after time. I am so blessed and have been helped countless times through many tough times in recent months and years. The generosity and kindness of many Hillside members is way beyond what I deserve or could have hoped for. Thank you Pastor Joe and Hillside!
