As a new church start in Sioux City area, we have a committed group of
supporters who are helping us to make this dream a reality. We meet at
various times for worship, missions activity, planning and community
building
Currently Spirit of the Hills United Methodist Church
consists of small faith communities that meet on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday evenings for worship, study, and personal growth. The first
Sunday evening of every month we have a joint worship service. We
also periodically offer other events such as Quarterly Retreats, Vacation Bible School, participation in the Westside Shalom Zone, and "Justice for Our
Neighbors," a program that provides free legal services for those
facing immigration difficulties. Always check the "What’s New" page on our website to
find out about current special events.

Monthly Sunday Worship Service
We are currently offering a monthly worship service at 5:00 p.m. on the first Sunday of each month.
Ours is a lively communion service, rich with prayer, music, modern
liturgy, and joyful participation. Our worship is not a performance
by skilled professionals for a passive audience. It is the common
work of sisters and brothers. We invite you to pray and sing together
with us and listen and reflect on God's word.
