Hillcrest Mennonite Church belongs both to Mennonite Church Canada as well as the local body Mennonite Church Eastern Canada.^[2].

[edit] Theology and practice

[edit] Gifts and passions

The theology and practice of Hillcrest MC reflects a mission to encourage participants to express their faith through particular gifts and passions. This approach was an intentional attempt to move away from ministry based on rigid structures and committees. This shift has resulted in more ad hoc church expressions which flow from the identity and resources of the congregation.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Intergenerational

Another distinctive characteristic of Hillcrest MC is its desire to see all ages more integrated in the life of the church. This has resulted in a move away from events and ministries segregated by age to fuller "family" experiences.
