The Hilltop Story

Hilltop Renewal Center is a 15 acre mountain retreat nestled in the San Jacinto mountain range near Idyllwild California. Set among tall whistling pines, sweet smelling cedars and legendary rock formations, Hilltop shouts God’s creation. Mountain views, hiking trails, and outdoor reading benches beckon any visitor to absorb the beauty and wonder of His creation alongside of Him.
