Everything about us—from our doctrine, philosophy, programs, and decisions—has its foundation in God’s Word. It is our priority to cultivate a Kingdom culture within the church so that members are equipped to live life as the Savior intended and impact the world around them.
HBC has set in motion a Kingdom Agenda, our philosophy of life and ministry. It is a view that is based solid on the authority of Scripture and communicated in a way that relates to the everyday realities of life.
What is The Kingdom Agenda
The Kingdom Agenda is defined as the visible demonstration of the comprehensive rule of God over every area of life. This rule is reflected through the four divinely ordained spheres of the individual, the family, the church and the government.
At HBC, we teach our members the principles of the Kingdom of God so they learn to function under the authority of the Kingdom in every dimension of life. Through the proper blending of God’s Word with good works, the goal of our church is to visibly model God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
Vision Statement
To have transformed lives that transfer the values of the Kingdom of God.
Mission Statement
Discipling the church to impact the world.
The Four Vital Experiences of a Christian
We have organized HBC around the four vital experiences, also called ministry areas, in an effort to make the Word of God real in the realm of our experience. HBC’s biblical organizational structure allows every aspect of our church to function in the presence of God; under the authority of God; to the glory of God.
1- Worship - provides an experience with the Person of God - “breaking of bread, and in prayers.” (Acts 2:42c)
2- Fellowship - provides an experience with God’s people -“continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship.” (Acts 2:42b)
3- Christian Education - gives us an experience with God’s perspective - “continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine.” (Acts 2:42a)
4- Outreach - offers an experience with God’s purpose - “praising God… the Lord added to the church daily. (Acts 2:47)
The Spirit of the Ministry
Through the Spirit of the Ministry, Hanes Baptist Church seeks to cultivate an environment that's conducive to discipling members towards spiritual maturity, ministry excellence, and loving relationships.

(Psalm 78:72)
