About us

Who you'll meet at Cedar Hill Church

Ordinary people following Jesus in Lawrence, KS.

Our story

We were all new here once

Every person in this room walked in for a first time, not knowing where to park or who to talk to.

That memory shapes how we do Sunday. You won't be singled out, put on a list, or asked to give. Come and watch for a while — that's a completely normal way to start.
