"You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid....In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."

​

Matthew 5: 14, 16

We have services in English and Finnish, as well as a bilingual service once a month typically. The Finnish service is a traditional Finnish service with time-honoured gospel songs and liturgy.

​

For the English Service, we are very fortunate to have our retired pastors, Pastor Ed Long, Pastor Arleen Berg Leishman and Pastor Nancy Ringham as well as Lay Leaders.

​

And of course, there is coffee and pulla (Finnish coffee bread) served with great conversation and fellowship. We heartily welcome new points of view to our discussions.

​

We would like to announce that as of July 31, 2022, Pastor Jari Lahtinen has retired. Pastor Jari is no longer our called minister, but he will pray for our continued and future mission and ministry.

​

Therefore, Pastor Jari cannot:

• perform weddings, funerals or baptisms;

• visit the sick and the homebound;

• continue in any counseling relationship with a parishioner;

• be involved in any way in the call process;

• give support or advice to anyone involved in a congregational disagreement;

• return to lead worship services (unless invited back as a "former pastor" to participate in a special event.

​

We give thanks to God for the time Pastor Jari was with us and we pray for him as he now goes on to serve God and the church in new ways.

​

Hilldale Lutheran Church has extended a call to Pastor Sirpa Tolppanen from Finland and she has accepted the call. We eagerly await her arrival. Look for more information to come.
