We invite you to join our Hillsong East Coast family as we become “Better Together.” Journey with us over the next seven days as we unlock faith for generosity and collective kingdom impact. “Heart for the House” is an annual, sacrificial offering that is above the normal tithes and offerings at Hillsong Church.
