We are excited to step into a new season as a church, with construction and development beginning on our building, The Commons! Our vision is for this to become a hub of difference-makers doing good throughout the city of Richmond—with Jesus at the center of it all. The heart behind this space has always been to serve our community, which is how our tagline, “For the good of Richmond,” came to be!

Plans are already underway, beginning with an upstairs remodel of our kids’ area. This includes new windows in every room (hello, sunlight!) and creating space for our Hill City Day School—welcoming over 100 kids into our building. There are more phases to come, and our heart behind every aspect of construction and improvement is to bless and impact our community.

So, you may be wondering: how can I get involved? We’d love for everyone who calls Hill City home to be part of this story. If you missed the message from Wags sharing the vision, take a moment to watch it and hear how we’re stepping forward in faith—pledging, giving, and believing in what only God can do through us, together.

HOW TO GIVE

Our goal is to raise 10 million dollars over the next 3 years.
We have already raised 2.2 million!

Below, you’ll find a link to make a pledge over the next three years for our Building Fund. As you go through the form, you’ll have the option to commit to either a total pledge amount or break it down into a monthly commitment over three years.

What’s the purpose of the pledge? It’s really to help designate our giving towards the Commons, to help us reach our goal.

THE COMMONS

For the good of Richmond.

FAQs

  • No, we are not changing our name. The Commons will be its own separate entity. The Hill City name will remain intact, we will just meet at "The Commons”.

  • The Hill City Day School will be under the umbrella of Hill City but fully operate on its own with a separate staff, budget, board and licensing. Eventually we will be moving the Day School to The Commons as well.

    When that move will be is determined by how much money we are able to raise as well as how quickly construction could happen.

  • We are very early in the planning process and as drawings become available we will share those with everyone as soon as we can. There is a lot to consider with the future of this property and we want to make sure there is a really good architectural plan in place to make sure this building can flourish.

  • We are in process of having conversations with several organizations that we are looking to partner with and as the partnerships take place we will make that public.

  • Yes, sports will continue in the building. What that will look like in the future is still unknown as we are in the planning phase. But there is a desire to have sports as a part of the future of The Commons.

  • We want to have partners in the building that have a heart to make Richmond better by what they do. There will be a concentration on things that center on the mind, body and soul. Of course Jesus and the church (Hill City) will be a centering point as a foundational piece. We will be working with organizations who embody that same kind of heart and vision for the city.

  • In the near future we will not be hiring. As things progress with development it is possible that positions could become available.

  • The goal is to not be displaced but at this time we can't say that definitively until there are more concrete plans in place.
