Thank you for visiting our website!

We are happy to announce that we have a new Pastor.  His name is Johnny Roberts and his wife Jane are a welcome addition to our church staff.    Please come to the church and be filled with love and joy. 

Welcome to Hill Baptist Church located in the Dona Ana community of Las Cruces, New Mexico. We feel that we are one of the most exciting churches anywhere. We are a small growing church with new people coming every week. The reason they give for coming is almost always the same: they feel at home here.

What is it about a country church like HBC that makes people feel that way?

For some it's the preaching. The sermons at HBC are always Biblical and relevant. We spend our time together looking into God's Word and exploring how it applies to our lives. AT HBC we are not about theory or ivory towers, but how to actually live out our faith. For others, it's openess. AT HBC it doesn't matter what you look like or where you have been-you will be treated like you belong. Divorced or married, black or white, Harley or horse, boots or suits-it doesn't matter,  (boots and hats are optional) you will be welcome here. Not only that, but you will FEEL welcome here. That the reason a lot of folks call us the church of second chances.

And lastly, many people feel at home here because of our music. While many churches are deeply divided over what kind of music they will use, HBC has boldly decided to use both kinds: country and gospel. While we insist that all of our music glorify God and speak of our Savior Jesus Christ, we also insist that it be presented in a style that regular working folks can appreciate.

The result of all of this is that the vast majority of people who visit our church wind up staying. Come on down and check us out. We are betting that you will feel right at home too.

Devotion        Don't be Shaken!

2 Timothy 1:7     For God hath not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and a sound mind.

When we first moved to Isreal we experienced a thundering earthquake that measured 5.2 on the Richter scale.  I was in my Hebrew class downtown, and my wife and newborn were in our Jerusalem apartment.  I don't know if any of you have ever experienced an earthquake, but it can be very scary.  My wife told me about her experience.

She was sitting in our bedroom with the baby in her arms, when out of nowhere came a sudden loud roaring sound, followed by a shaking of all four walls, and all the contents within banging against them for what seemed like an eternity.

So many things go through your mind when you're in the midst of a life-threatening experience like that. Rivak said that as everything was shaking, she began to fear what could happen next.  But in the midst of it all, Riv looked down ad Ekianna in her arms.  Would you believe, she was perfectly content--happy, smiling, even drifting off to sleep as the eart shook all around her.

Each of us can take a lesson from Elianna.  Even in the midst of craziness, chaos, distress, crisis beyond our control, we as believers must rest, trusting the we're safe in the loving arms of the Father.

Is your world being shake right now?  Know that God is holding you today.   No matter what you're facing, you can trust Him fully to cover you and protect you.  Relax in His sheltering arms!
