Elhi Hill Baptist Church, or Church on the Hill, was established in 1995 by lead pastor Russ Peters in the Regal Cinema in Bonney Lake. The congregation has its own location now on 214th Ave E, but the focus is still the same. This church recognizes that Bonney Lake is made up of a very diverse community of mostly commuters and the Elhi Hill Baptist Church wants to provide a place where anyone in town can feel welcome and comfortable to learn and worship. Services start at 10am on Sundays and coincide with the Kid Zone which is a special space for children from birth to 5th grade. The church sponsors its own sports camp every summer and also has community activities on most major holidays including Easter, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. There are also smaller groups such as a ladies group, mixed group, and recovery group that meet to study and learn form one another.
