Mission and Values
Our Mission:
As a congregation, our mission is to lead the people of the Hughesville area into a relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and into a relationship with the people of God's family, the church.
Our Values:
- Learning through Bible-based activities
- One family-families uniting as God's Family
- Valuing traditional morals
- Enhancing children's lives
Our Strategy:
By participating in each of these four critical areas of the life of the church, individuals might grow in their faith and thereby fulfill the mission of HBC.
- Worship by remembering the acts of God in Jesus Christ, celebrating the attributes of God, declaring God's work in our lives, and listening and responding to God's Word being declared.
- Service Christ by working with our children's ministries, serving on a church board or committee, or answering the call to serve on mission projects.
- Study God's word in order to correctly handle it and to listen to God's direction for our lives.
- Sharing time and food together as a family of God to live out the principles of good family life.
Our Goals:
As a family of God, our goals are to be:
- Sharing Christ's LOVE for others by showing patience and kindness to all, honoring others above ourselves, learning to forgive others who have wronged us, and offering hospitality to others.
- Sharing Christ's selfless life by GIVING of our resources and time generously, cheerfully, and confidently in God's faithfulness.
- Sharing Christ himself by being WITNESSES of God's Good News to others through sharing our life stories of Christ's love in our lives and showing consistent concern for others.
- Seeking to GROW in our faith through consistency in worship and fellowship, prayer, and reading and meditating on the Bible.
