About Us

Hill Brothers Tours is a collaboration effort of three brothers who have a combined total of more than 145 years in ministry and have collectively hosted many tours groups on spiritual pilgrimages over more than thirty-five years. We invite you to join us for a life-changing trip to the Holy Land.

The Hill Brothers grew up in a minister’s home which included five sons and three daughters. Three of the sons have served in a variety of ministry settings for many years. Each of the brothers completed an undergraduate degree at Southwest Baptist University or William Jewell College, and all three completed Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Missouri.

This is The Hill Brothers in Ephesus during a tour to Turkey and Israel in February of 2007. The brothers host tours regularly–sometimes every year, but at least every other year. Our goal is to provide spiritual pilgrimages and special memories that will last a lifetime. Make plans to join us for our next tour.
