YOU ARE INVITED TO COME TO CHURCH
Wondering if you would "fit" at church? Here is a good video that explains the open welcome you would receive here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NK1RsItAAs
Come dressed for the day, not just the morning.
Worship Schedule
Due to the pandemic, we encourage people who are at high risk to watch our livestream on the church's Facebook page at 9am on Sunday morning. Because worship is essential for one's spiritual well-being, as well as physical well-being, no one will be turned away from gathering for worship. (See the top of this page for how to find our Facebook page.)
We have two in-person worship services.
On Saturday, at 5pm, our worship service follows a traditional format (with hymns). Masks are required for this service. Doors to use for entering the church or entering the sanctuary are propped open. We ask people to sit where there are bulletins placed in pews in order for us to have recommended distancing.
On Sunday, at 9am, our worship service follows a more basic format and we have a worship team leading us in song. Masks are encouraged but not required and most do not wear them. For those who wish to sit around others wearing masks, you may sit in the north section of the sanctuary (nearest the Good Shepherd window). Doors to use are propped open and bulletins are placed in pews where we encourage you to sit.
Jr. High youth fellowship meets at 5:45pm and Sr. High youth fellowship meets at 7:30pm on Wednesday. For more information you may contact Rem Dyas, youth pastor, at remdyas@gmail.com or 620-214-2491, or visit our youth's facebook page at Hillsboro Cornerstone (Sr. High) and Hillsboro Lighthouse (Jr. High).

New Birth
"You must be born again." Jesus said those words in John 3:7 but what does it mean to be "born again"? Below is a a link to a webpage "New Birth" from Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. On that webpage you can choose from 1 of 10 short videos and hear how being "born again" came about in a variety of lives in a variety of ways.
