Missions
Hillside Community Church believes that God can use all of us to show his love to the hurting world around us. As a church, we have chosen to support missions on a local level as well as provincially and nationally/internationally. Some of our people have been blessed to go on short-term missions trips with organizations we support and some amazing personal friendships have been formed through this.

House of the Risen Son is a Christian Biker Ministry in Winnipeg, MB. The purpose of this ministry is:
- to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to the people of the streets;
- to witness to bikers, prostitutes, youth, the homeless, and the poor working class;
- to distribute Bibles, gospel tracts and a welcome to the fellowship of the Church;
- to network with Christian and government support agencies to meet the physical and emotional needs that these people may have; when such sources are not available, then this ministry must strive to find any provision that God may provide.
HRS beliefs are based solely on the Bible, which is uniquely God-inspired and the final authority on all matters pertaining to life and faith. We believe in the existence of One True God who has revealed Himself to this world as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and each being fully of God.
