Hillcrest Mennonite Church in New Hamburg

A welcoming faith community rooted in worship, peace, and service.

Our mission

Gathered to grow, scattered to serve

We partner with God in laying a faith foundation, in experiencing God together in worship and prayer, in modeling our faith daily by our words and actions, in practicing hospitality and generosity, in nurturing each one’s gifts, and inviting others to join us. We strive to be good stewards of God’s creation, and to seek justice and peace in a needy world.
