OUR WORSHIP

Our worship is an�expression of what God is doing through each of us. �It's a time to engage God! We provide a variety of newer songs & even traditional songs to help the church body connect with their Maker. �Even though we believe worship is for the King of Kings, we also believe that Christ centered worship helps prepare hearts for the message He has for them.�

OUR COMMUNITY

Community focused churches tend to be the most Biblical churches.�We are committed to the people of this area. We love on them through our food pantry and used furniture ministry.

We pride ourselves on meeting the needs of people in our area to the best of our ability. Our motto is "Come as you are" , So our services are designed to meet people where they are at!

Truly, A Place For The Community!�

Welcome to HBC!

It's not easy visiting a church for the first time but our volunteers do a great job at making first time visitors feel welcome and more importantly comfortable.

If you have children, there is a sign up table in the entry way for children’s church. Each little one will be given a safety band and then they will be signed in ready to go.

After the worship set the children are dismissed for Children's Church. They will be escorted down by one of our Kid Zone volunteers. After service, make sure to go downstairs to sign them out. Thank you!

Enjoy the service!

Passionate Worship

We believe that God’s presence is revealed through worship. There is no "right way" to worship, and as such, we encourage people to simply express their love to God in a way that is comfortable and familiar to them.

Relevant, Biblical Teaching

As Christ-followers, we have the most powerful message in the world. Our messages always seek to draw us closer to God, equip us in our spiritual journey, and encourage us to share the love of Christ.

MISSION

To be a church on mission means our focus is outward, not inward. We emphasize the importance of reaching the lost and unchurched in our community.

VISION

To be a place where people feel accepted as they are, yet challenged to let Christ transform them.

Ministries

WORSHIP TEAM

Our Worship is central to who we are as a church. It’s Christ centered. It’s Biblical. It’s lively and spirit led. It’s contemporary! We have one of the greatest live bands in our area. We promise you’ll be engaged & encouraged through this aspect of our ministry.

Love Inc of The Copper Country

As needs from our community come through Love Inc, our Church helps the clients as best we can. Service projects, small repairs, moving and transporting furniture are some examples of the work that we do. We’re so thrilled that our Pastor, David Whitaker is also the Executive Director & his wife, Gillian serves as their office manager. We’ve all been serving behind scenes with Love Inc for over 8 years.

FOOD PANTRY

Our Food Pantry is open to those in need of help. Food and other everyday household items are available to those in need. Call the Church for more info! If you need help, visit the Love Inc website at http://loveincofcc.org/.

Keep in mind, the Love Inc office operates inside HBC. We operate by appointment only but the phone lines are always on Tuesday-Thursday 10am-4pm. If we don’t pick up right away, we’re helping someone else. Please leave a message and we’ll get back to you. We’re here to help our community. Love Inc is a great way to do that.

WOMEN'S SMALL GROUPS

We have groups that meet mid week depending on your location. We also offer a Tuesday & Thursday night Small Group @ HBC in the Cafe from 6:30pm-7:30pm. We would love to connect with you.

Community Outreach

Often times, the church over emphasizes international missions and yet forgets the community in which we are called to minister to. We are all in when it comes to serving in this area. Love Inc is just one of many ways we serve in this area.

We help on the average 20 plus families a month from our community. The need is great. We are a mission based church which means we put others first. The community is our number one priority.
