Welcome to

Hillcrest Youth

Hillcrest Student Ministries is a group of 6th - 12th grade students who are collectively searching after Jesus together. Check out what is happening for Hillcrest student ministries over the summer down below! Find us on social media on Instagram and Facebook @hillcrestsm.

Living. Learning. Loving. We are a group of middle school and high school students who are becoming true followers of Jesus Christ. Apprentices of love, truth, and grace! You’ll be welcomed and accepted when you come and visit. You’ll make friends, have some fun, and probably be challenged by what you see and hear. Most of all, you’ll have the opportunity to become the person Christ was dreaming of when He thought you were worth dying for.

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date with events: @hillcrestsm.

Questions? Email Student Ministries Pastor, Austin Elleby.

Parents Email List: Hillcrest Student Ministries aims to partner with parents; we realize it takes a village to raise students who are chasing Jesus, connected in a loving community, and empowered with His purpose. A great way to stay connected is to follow us on social media.
