Our Beliefs

At Pleasant Hill, we believe we are called to connect people to Christ and one another through living out our priorities.

Practicing Radical Hospitality
We commit to creating a warm and welcoming environment for all, embodying Christ’s love through open arms and hearts. Our church seeks to be a refuge for all, ensuring that everyone feels seen and valued.
“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” (Hebrews 13:2)

Growing as Disciples
We prioritize spiritual growth through prayer, study, and community, nurturing a deeper relationship with Christ. Our mission is to equip each member to grow in their faith journey and share the Gospel with others. Our adult, children, and student ministries are Biblically based and grounded in Wesleyan theology focused on grace, holiness, and connectionism.
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19)

Engaging Our Community
We actively engage with our local community, seeking to meet needs and build relationships that reflect God’s love. We believe in being agents of change, serving our neighbors and advocating for justice.
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)

Loving Our Neighbor
Our commitment to love transcends differences, embodying Christ’s command to love others unconditionally. We strive to demonstrate love through actions, ensuring that our community feels accepted and cherished.
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:31)

Being Inclusive
We celebrate diversity and welcome all individuals, regardless of background, identity, or circumstance, affirming that all are created in God's image. Our church seeks to break down barriers and build bridges, fostering a community where everyone belongs.
“For there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28)

Giving Generously
We practice generosity in our time, talents, and resources, reflecting God's abundance and grace in our lives. We are committed to sharing our blessings and supporting both our church and the wider community.
“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)

Demonstrating Faith in Action
We believe that faith must be active and lived out, encouraging all members to serve and use their gifts for God’s glory. Our church encourages members to engage in service projects and outreach, living out their faith through meaningful action. We dedicate ourselves to serving others both locally and globally, echoing Christ's call to love through action and outreach. Our church is committed to actively participating in missions, both near and far, recognizing that serving others is a vital expression of our faith and a reflection of God’s love in the world.
“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” (James 2:17) “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)
