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

Always With You READ: Psalm 25:4-10

Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go. —Genesis 28:15

The highway that winds around the southern shore of Lake Michigan can be treacherous in the winter. One weekend as we were driving back to Grand Rapids from Chicago, a buildup of snow and ice slowed traffic, caused numerous accidents, and almost doubled our drive time. We were relieved as we eased off the expressway onto our final road. It was then that my husband said out loud, “Thanks, Lord. I think I can take it from here.”

Just as he finished saying the words, our car spun around 180 degrees. As we came to a stop, hearts pounding, we could just imagine God saying: “Are you sure?”

Why do we sometimes try to go it alone in life when at every moment we have access to God? He said: “I am with you and will keep you wherever you go” (Gen. 28:15). And He assures us: “I will never leave you nor forsake you” (Heb. 13:5).

Scottish mathematician, theologian, and preacher Thomas Chalmers (1780–1847) wrote: “When I walk by the wayside, He is along with me. When I enter into company, amid all my forgetfulness of Him, He never forgets me. . . . Go where I will, He tends me, and watches me, and cares for me.”

What a comfort to know that God is always with us—we don’t need to go through life alone! —Cindy Hess Kasper

As I travel down life’s pathway,
Jesus keeps me day by day;
And although the road is winding,
Yet, with Him I need not stray. —Bradshaw
