Hillcrest Baptist Church

What Hillcrest Baptist Church does

Hillcrest Baptist Church is an independent, non-profit Baptist church headquartered in the Inland Empire region of Southern California, operating across three physical locations in Jurupa Valley (Sunday worship), Chino (Wednesday Bible Study and youth programs), and Eastvale (mailing address). The church serves families and individuals of all ages through a structured ministry portfolio that includes Sunday worship services and Life Groups (9:30 AM), a 10:30 AM worship service, midweek Bible study, age-specific programs (Hillcrest Kids for nursery through 5th grade, HLCRST YTH for 6th-12th graders, Adult Life Groups), and seasonal offerings such as Summer Recharge (a combined program with Victory Baptist Church) and Joshua Camps youth summer camp. A formal membership pathway (Discover Hillcrest) guides attendees from initial spiritual discovery through baptism and into service and discipleship roles. The organization is led by Lead Pastor Matt Miles and Assistant Pastor Jony Hernandez, with a headcount of approximately 60.

The church's technology stack is built on the Nucleus church management platform, which powers the website, the 'Plan A Visit' visitor flow, event registration, online giving via the EasyTithe integration, and a prayer hub. There is no proprietary technology, no public API, no mobile app, and no disclosed automation or AI capability. Marketing and member acquisition are conducted primarily through community engagement, word-of-mouth, and organic social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, with the website serving as the primary digital touchpoint. Distribution is exclusively in-person at the three Inland Empire locations, supplemented by digital giving and sermon video on YouTube.

The business model is a charitable donation model: all services and programs are offered free of charge, and the church is funded entirely by voluntary tithes and offerings from members and attendees, with online giving facilitated through EasyTithe. There is no pricing, no transactional revenue, no fundraising events disclosed beyond regular giving, and no participation in any venture capital, private equity, or institutional funding. The organization is structured as a private non-profit religious entity with no parent company, subsidiaries, or external investors, and no financial disclosures are publicly available.
