…Our Mission

We exist for this purpose: To possess and communicate an unquenchable passion for the supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ in all things.

To possess—we believe in a regenerate church membership and not just a membership that is saved but one that seeks to stay in constant continual fellowship with Christ.
To communicate—we believe that it is both our responsibility and privilege to share the gospel though our actions, attitudes, and words both locally and around the world. Therefore, we should always strive to find better and more effective ways for accomplishing this task.

An unquenchable passion—this phrase implies excitement and enthusiasm. The first thing that any first time visitor looks at is the spirit and attitudes of those who already attend. For the Supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ—in all things Christ must be preeminent. He must be the driving force behind every decision, every change, every maintenance, and every work that we endeavor. He must be more important than our selves, our wishes, and our desires. Therefore humility is essential. We exist for this purpose to possess and communicate an unquenchable passion for the supremacy of the Lord Jesus Christ in all things.

 In all things—nothing is exempt from being under the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

…Our Manner

We are to be a people living the great commandment (Matthew 22:37-40) fulfilling the great commission (Matthew 28:19-20) so that we might be a great church glorifying our great God. (Revelation 4:11.)

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:37-40.)

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (Revelation 4:11)

 

…Our Methodology

Loving the Lord with all our heart—WORSHIP
Loving our neighbor as ourselves—EVANGELISM
Going and making disciples—FELLOWSHIP
Baptizing them—DISCIPLESHIP
Teaching them—EXPOSITORY PREACHING
Obeying HIM—MINISTRY

 

…Our Means

The work and ministry of HBC is done through the efforts and resources of the people. The ministry is not the expression of a man but rather the expression of a people who love God, one another, their community, and who have a burden to see the name of Jesus made popular in Indiana County and the surrounding regions.
