Located in Austin’s East Riverside-Oltorf neighborhood, The Hill was founded in 2016 to provide expanded opportunities for worship and missional service on the southeast side of the city. We are a multicultural community and many of our most engaged members are Deaf.
Las clases y servicios se ofrecen en inglés, pero todos son bienvenidos a asistir. La misa incluye boletines en español para que puedan participar.

The Community Garden is a joint effort between Hillside ECC and the Hill. Say hi to the chickens as you plant, tend to, and harvest seasonal crops, which are then shared with community members. For more information, please contact Ron Tamaru.
During the year, the Hill hosts or facilitates a number of community gatherings, including an Easter Egg Hunt, Fourth of July on the Hill, Blessing of the Backpacks, the NAMI Walk, Blessing of the Animals, Hillside Sunday Fall Festival, Dia de los Muertos Ofrenda Table, Music on the Hill concerts, and more. View our Calendar or seasonal handout for details.
The Hill’s Sunday worship is supported by the musical leadership of a live, acoustic band. If you play an instrument and would like to join The Hill’s Angels, please contact Scott Strickland, Director of Music at the Hill.
In addition to the church, the Hill’s campus includes Hillside Early Childhood Center, a pre-k day school with its own 501(c)(3) status; a community garden maintained by parishioners and school families; and the Park at Love Hill, a public green space open to the neighborhood. As a small-but-growing community, there are many opportunities to lead and serve.
