Kids with any needs are welcomed and taken great care of. Just let us know what they need. Kids start in worship, then head to their classes; babies to two year olds go straight to class.

About Hillcrest
For more than 75 years, a community on mission in the name of Jesus, one mile from Western Washington University.
We work to stay clear of religious pretension or artificial emotions.
Loving God with our whole mind, heart and spirit, alongside the students and thinkers of Whatcom County.
A healthy reflection of an eclectic, growing Bellingham, built on face to face friendships.
Worship albums, art shows, dance and poetry. We still love to laugh, play games and take adventures together.
We go out of our way to make guests feel welcome, in our homes, neighborhoods, work and church.
An especially long history of caring for foster and adopted kids, tender toward the hurting right here at home.
With our thoughts, time, homes, abilities and finances, sending people and resources around the world.
Hillcrest Church is established to fulfill the command of God, to love Him with all we have, individually and corporately, and to love others as we love ourselves.
Where Hillcrest came from, where its hurts have been, and how God has been at work over the years.
A three year campaign to build a Community Resource Center serving Hillcrest Kids, Bellingham Chi Alpha and Hillcrest Church: a place where neighbors facing food insecurity are welcomed with dignity. The goal is $11.25 million over three years: $5.5 million for the center and $5.75 million for ongoing ministry.
The Council governs Hillcrest Chapel and its three divisions: Hillcrest Church, Hillcrest Kids and Bellingham Chi Alpha. Council@HCBellingham.com

Nathan will shoot the Larrabee Avenue entrance and the lobby Info Booth on a Sunday morning.
Your What to Expect and Treasureland pages already answer every question a first time guest has. Everything on your current site is here too, just folded so it stays calm. The first visit pieces were a few clicks deep, so I pulled them into one plan someone can build on their phone in ten seconds, next to a live countdown and your latest message.
I shoot the photos and video myself, and that footage becomes the site, from the lobby on a Sunday to the Food Bank on a Thursday.
Website and Media Package, $3,500. It includes this custom site, an on location photo shoot, Google Business Profile cleanup and launch on your domain. Hosting is $50 a month, or own it outright. This is a draft you can shape however you want.
