Our Ministries:
 

Sunday Services
Sunday mornings begin at 9:30 with Sunday School classes for all ages. At 10:45 the morning worship service beings. It is traditional and generally based around the expositional preaching of the Scriptures. The evening service begins at 6 P.M. and is either expositional or topically based.

During both the morning (including Sunday School) and evening services nursery care for infants is available. For children up to age nine, a Jr. Church service is also offered concurrent with the morning worship service at 10:45.


Wednesday Service
The regular Wednesday night prayer meeting starts at 7:30 and includes a Bible message or devotional. Through the Summer months, we offer small group studies in our “cottage ministry groups” which meet in members houses as well as at the church itself.

AWANA
One of the foundations of our children's ministry is our AWANA program. This meets during the fall and spring semesters on Wednesday nights at 7 P.M. For more information click here.


Heritage Bible Institute
Through the fall and spring semesters two courses are offered on Monday nights. These classes are from 7-8 P.M.  and then 8-9 P.M. The instruction is a modified Bible College type curriculum presenting a diversified area of study. Classes can be taken for personal growth as well or for credit towards a Bible institute certification. Classes are open to anyone who wants to take them. For information as to what classes are being offerred, please email or call us. Heritage Bible Institute is under the direction and teaching of Senior Pastor James Barr.


Ladies Ministry
There are several service ministries and inter-church activities for ladies at HBC throughout the year. Every month a ladies newsletter entitled “The Joyful Journey” is published with articles written by ladies within the church. There are also several ladies’ banquets and fellowships.


Music Ministry
For those who enjoy music and sing or play instruments there are many avenues for involvement for members of HBC. For those who enjoy singing, a volunteer choir practices and sings in the fall and spring. The choir usually sings for a Christmas and Easter program. Small groups and solos are also a part of the ministry for those who are interested in them. Instrumentalists are welcomed to play during the congregational singing and are often a part of the Christmas and Easter season. Opportunities to minister through offertories are also readily available.

For Christmas a Children's Choir is also formed for those who are interested between the ages of 6 and 13. The Children’s Choir generally starts practicing in mid-October and meets during the regular 7 P.M. Sunday Evening Service.

The Music Ministry of HBC is under the direction of Pastor Stephen DeWalt


Vacation Bible School (VBS)
Each summer (generally the last week of June) HBC has a VBS program that is open for anyone to attend. Each year a different theme is used to communicate the truth of the Bible. Activities during the event include games, snacks, crafts, and lesson time.


Youth Ministry
We have an active (and sizeable) Jr. Hi and Sr. Hi youth group which goes out on many service and recreational outings throughout the year. Bi-monthly they have a “Teen Church” services during the regular Sunday evening service. Every other year the teens are also offered the opportunity to serve on a mission’s trip either within the United States or over-seas. The youth group is under the supervision of Pastor Luke Rex.


Young Adults
The singles ministry (college age and above) have a unique group called the Young Adult Ministry group (YAMs).The YAMs meet for their own Sunday School class as for social and ministry events.
