Serve a ministry, support our mission.

The Mission of HMBC
Spiritual Ministries

The mission of our spiritual ministries are to spread God’s word and share His love with the world. It is about giving ourselves, our time, talents, and resources to help others. Our outreach includes promoting spiritual, educational, and social activities throughout the community. By meeting the needs within our communities, we display God’s love and invite others to do the same.

When we serve in ministry, we find joy and fulfillment in life. Participating in service demonstrates our faith while allowing us to forge valuable relationships with those both within and outside of our church family.
