God

We believe in one almighty loving God, who has existed for all eternity in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God, who became fully man born through the Virgin Mary. We believe Jesus lived a sinless life and died for the sins of all, taking on Himself the punishment we deserve. We believe Jesus rose from the dead conquering sin and death.

Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is living and active in the world. We believe the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, reveals God’s truth and power, and works to transform the lives of those who choose to follow Christ.

Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is our primary authority. It contains all truth necessary for faith and life.

Humanity

We believe human beings were created good and in the image of God, but sin and disobedience has broken human nature. We stand on our own from a perfect God and there is nothing we can do to restore the brokenness that sin has caused. But all can respond to God’s love and be restored in relationship with God as a gift of His grace.

Church

We believe the church is made up of all of those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The church is called to be the salt and light of the earth through the ongoing representation of God’s presence in the world where people experience the reality of God through His people.

9:00 AM Service | Traditional

We are all on a journey.  It started at birth and continues for the rest of our lives.  Along this journey we are hopeful to experience opportunities for growth.  Worship is a vital part of our journey and opportunity to grow.  Worship is an important part of the journey in the Christian life here at Hocking Hills Church.  At this service, God is praised through a variety of Christian songs including traditional hymns.  We also share a Bible based message; a time of prayer; and God’s love, comfort, and grace are made new through the Holy Spirit.  In our traditional service you will also experience worship singers, praise ensemble, and bell choir.  Participants are charged to go forth and live as Disciples of Christ.

11:00 AM Service | Modern

Often times we mistake church on Sundays to be a little bit of time spent with God. In all actuality, church on Sundays is meant to be a place where followers of Jesus Christ can come together and worship, pray, serve, learn, and give together in fellowship with one another. It’s not a garrison we retreat to, but a harbor where we resupply, rest, and prepare ourselves for our next journey. At this service, worship looks a little different than you may be used to. There is a praise band that leads us in passionate worship. That transitions into a message from one of our pastors that you can apply to your life today; all of which is saturated in prayer. Worship freely, learn deeply, and pray with expectation.

Love

We love one another as Jesus loves us. Love means helping someone become the best they can be no matter what the cost. Without Love, all is lost.

Authenticity

We strive to meet real needs of real people through honest words and actions. We speak what is true out of our love for one another.

Forgiveness

We forgive others the way Jesus forgave us, with His complete  grace. We do not let mistakes hinder us from moving forward together.

Safety

We follow safe sanctuary best practices to provide a safe environment. We welcome everyone in security, respect, worthiness, and well being.

Hope

We bring hope to our community as Christian believers through Christ. Our hope is confidence in God’s ability to bring about the fruit of our labor.

Growth

We affirm and build one another up by recognizing the many gifts that each of us have. We create a welcoming environment to grow in size and purpose as the body of Christian followers. We engage in service and missions to advance the kingdom of God.
