Why HBC?

We are an independent, fundamental, Baptist Church. 
The Word of God is the foundation and source for everything we do.

The Inspired, Preserved​ word of God in the English language, The King James Version​

Psalm 119:89 "For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven."
Psalm 12:6-7
 "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.  Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."
II Timothy 3:16-17 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."
1 Peter 1:20-21 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

The Autonomy of the Local Church

Colossians 1:18, "And he (Christ) is the head of the body, the church:  who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;  that in all things he might have the preeminence."

The Priesthood of Every Believer

I Peter 2:5, "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."

Two Ordinances:  Baptism & The Lord's Supper

Acts 8:36-38, "And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water;  and the eunuch said, See, here is water;  what doth hinder me to be baptized?  And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.  And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  And he commanded the chariot to stand still:  and they went down both into the water; both Philip and the eunuch;  and he baptized him." 
I Corinthians 11:26, "For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come."

Individual Soul Liberty

Romans 14:12, "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God."

Saved and Baptized Church Membership

Acts 2:47, "Praising God, and having favour with all the people.  And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."

Two Offices:  Pastor & Deacon

I Timothy 3:1, "This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work."
I Timothy 3:13, "For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus."

Separation of Church & State

Matthew 22:20, "And he said unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?  They say unto him, Caesar's.  Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's;  and unto God the things that are God's."
