Local Missions

BackPack Club (part of Hand2Hand Ministries)
Our church donates meals and weekend snacks to needy families from Alward School and the Hudsonville Early Childhood Center every week. The congregation supports this ministry by giving of financial gifts or food donations to help fill the backpacks.

Easter Egg Hunt and Live Nativity Events
On the Saturday of Easter weekend, Hillcrest holds an Easter Egg Hunt for neighborhood families.  It is a time for fun, fellowship and sharing the love of Jesus.
On a Sunday before Christmas, Hillcrest has a Live Nativity that includes animals! We invite anyone from the community come experience the story of Jesus' birth.

Sewing Ministry
The Hillcrest Sewing Ministry is a group of devoted women who help those in need by gathering each Tuesday morning to sew items or do needlework.  The items they make are donated to hospitals, missionaries, mission agencies, etc. Last year, these women made and donated thousands of items!

Trips and Projects


Short-Term Mission Service
Hillcrest supports its members who have an opportunity to serve both locally and internationally.  Whether participating in a Hillcrest sponsored project or one God has led them to elsewhere, the church is deeply committed to helping its members share their talents and grow in their faith through these experiences. For more info on how to receive financial support, please contact Kari (kbrinks@hillcrestcrc.org)


​Service Projects
We choose to show the love of Jesus through many different ways…including service projects.  We do food drives for local food banks, Christmas Angel Tree gifts for a local ministry, care packages, leaf raking, school supply donation drives, clothing drives, and volunteering at different ministries.  We also support other ministry agencies that need our help for events, work projects,  and other activities.
