About Chilson Hills Church by Bob Miley, Deacon "Chilson Hills, with its freedom from religious orthodoxy, has helped me pursue a closer relationship with our God and my Church family. My heart has been opened. My inner core has been cleansed to view other faiths and denominations--all in the name of Christ--to see wholesome goodness in worship and congregation--good people held by gravity in this world but yet boundless in freedom to the Holy Spirit."
