Hillcrest exists to glorify God as we: communicate the message of Jesus Christ to those who do not know him, baptize and connect them with other Christians, help all to cultivate their own spiritual growth, and provide opportunities to care for others as we celebrate God together. Hillcrest started their relationship with Adams Thermal Foundation by hosting Child Sponsorship Sundays every year since 2016. In addition, the pastors from Hillcrest visited the schools in Ethiopia in 2018 and then launched a campaign to build the first-ever high school building in Ottoro.
