The Community Resource Center is designed to expand the missional reach of each of our three divisions, Hillcrest Kids, Bellingham Chi Alpha, and Hillcrest Church.
It will be a place where our neighbors experiencing food insecurity are welcomed with dignity and care, where families find support and connection, and where practical help is offered in the name of Jesus. It will be a place where children are nurtured and formed through Christ-centered early learning at a time when quality childcare is increasingly difficult to find. And it will be a place that sustains and supports college ministry, providing a stable home base for missionaries who are investing deeply in the lives of students across our local campuses.
Though these ministries serve different people in different ways, they are united by a common calling: to be present, to build relationships, and to create space where faith can take root and grow.
The Community Resource Center allows us to bring these expressions of mission together, creating a space for people to find life in Christ and community at Hillcrest. This only builds on what Hillcrest had done for decades and decades and prepares Hillcrest to serve faithfully for generations to come.
This guided tour takes you through the entire Community Resource Center the way we’ve been dreaming about it, space by space. We’ll point out what each area is for and how it all fits together. Floor plans are helpful, but nothing replaces the feeling of moving through a building and getting a real sense of its scale and flow.
As the tour unfolds, picture it full of life: neighbors sharing a meal, families finding the help they need, and people discovering that they belong. This is a building meant to be filled with people, and we’d love for you to see yourself serving in it.
Imagine what could happen here.
