Adults with Children

The Contenders Family Ministry at HBC is geared for parents who have children at home. We want to provide a ministry that offers encouragement for strong marriages, help and resources as we raise Godly children, and activities that are fun for the whole family.

This ministry is built on the idea that church is not just something you do, but is a community that endeavors to help one another thrive spiritually. We provide many opportunities to enjoy time together, whether it be serious Bible study or fun fellowship times. 

Sunday School @ 10:00 am 

The Contenders Sunday School is a time of fellowship, games, and Bible studies that have a direct impact on our own lives as parents, as well as biblical advice to navigate teaching biblical principles to our children.
