Dear Church,

It’s with a deep level of excitement that I anticipate serving as your senior pastor in several weeks! My family and I are thrilled to be joining the Rolling Hills family in June.

We developed such a strong love for Rolling Hills during our visit in early April that we wish we were there now. As we met members of the leadership...

Thank you for the encouraging posts we received while we were gone! We hope you have been able to hear some of the countless stories from the Mexico trip. I encourage you to take a student to lunch or coffee or even just grab a few minutes in the lobby to ask them questions about their week serving in Mexico. 

The youth staff would like to...

After Easter life is never the same for Jesus' disciples.

I am talking about disciples back then and disciples like you and me today.

Yes, the disciples were confused and afraid at first [and so are we from time to time] - but they remembered what Jesus had said.  They waited and then moved swiftly to continue with love for the broken, the...

This clip from The Passion of the Christ depicts Jesus falling as he carries his cross.  An observer [Simon the Cyrene] is told to help Jesus.

Jesus' cross becomes Simon's cross.  Simon's cross becomes Jesus' cross.

Imagine.  Imagine it was/is you in Simon's place.

Read the story in Luke 23:26-32.

The past two days in Mexico have been very productive and eventful! All nine of our teams have had the opportunity to go out into the community to share the Word of God, all nine houses are about 1/2 a days work away from being complete and new relationships are flourishing. It is hard to believe that just three days ago we arrived to a piece...

One of our seniors: Kelly Chung told me she wrote this story in her journal from the first day and I thought I would share it with you. Bear in mind, the area we are in is not what you would classify as developed, meaning, not many paved roads and even less street signs. 

Kelly Chung writes, "So we arrived at this home which was crammed in a...

We had our first full day in Mexico today and it went great! Our final 3 members joined up with us after finishing their cheer and jazz competitions so we are now a complete team. We woke up this morning to a hot French Toast breakfast (our kitchen crew is incredible!) and then we were off to the worksites to meet our...

After dinner, we announced the worksites for the week and students quickly got to work coming up with a team name based on a Bible verse and a team chant. We have a very talented group of...
