IN-PERSON WORSHIP
Sunday worship services are held in in our sanctuary at 9am and 11am!
Masks are optional (except for children ages 2-4 and volunteers working with children ages 4 and under). There will be a marked "masks required" section in the front right of the sanctuary for those who don't wish to sit with unmasked attendees.
ONLINE WORSHIP
You can join us virtually via our live-streamed services at 9am and 11am on YouTube, or watch the service later, beginning on Sunday afternoon.
This Worship Resource Page serves as a companion to the online worship service and includes song lyrics and sermon scripture.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
Newborn-Preschool: Class is available during services. Upon drop-off, parents/guardians and children receive wristbands with matching numbers. Parents supply their wristband to pick up their child at the conclusion of the service.
Kindergarten - Grade 5: Class is available during both services. Children in this age group will begin in the sanctuary for worship with their parent/guardian and will be dismissed to the CE Room after the Congregational Prayer.
Grades 6-12: All youth will begin in the sanctuary for worship with their parent/guardian and will be dismissed to the Large Youth Room after the Congregational Prayer.
Adults: Classes for adults begin at the start of each service upstairs. At 9am, Pastor Ryan and Lam Nguyen will lead a discussion on the book Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes. At 11am, Pastor Lynda will lead a discussion on the book Rediscovering Scripture's Vision for Women. More information about these studies can be found here.

POST-SECONDARY
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Education offers opportunity and equity, and it is as important as ever in helping students not only survive but thrive. Some students, however, hit roadblocks to affordable education because of family, economic, or other circumstances. HBIC has set up a scholarship fund to help students cover a small portion of their college costs like textbook or lab fees. These funds can help students towards finishing their degrees so they can find jobs that God has particularly gifted them to do. If you're interested in an application, contact Pastor Brie.
