Morningside Hills

United Church of Christ

Morningside Hills is a loving community where people renew their spirits, grow in faith, and act for justice.

We envision and work for a more kind, just world where people know and show the love of God.

No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here!

Sundays

Worship is at 10am on Sundays, both in-person and online via Zoom. We shape worship around relevant themes, connecting insights from Scripture with the present moment and inviting worshippers to connect with one another in compassionate, Christlike community.

Weekly Sunday School classes gather children in elementary school, while nursery care and in-sanctuary options are available during Sunday services for children 5 and under.

We blend musical styles in worship, offering brief choruses, ensemble performances, contemporary songs and occasional music videos alongside traditional hymns. Our music ministries include periodic music from the Chancel Choir, Morningside Bells, or the house band, Mass Chaos.

Join us each week in person or online.
