Vision<br />
To be a people that live life by the Book<br />
and display what the New Testament<br />
teaches the church should be, whether<br />
gathered or scattered. (Acts 2:41-47)<br />
Mission<br />
For God’s glory and by the power of the<br />
Spirit, Hamp<strong>to</strong>n Park Baptist Church<br />
exists <strong>to</strong> proclaim and <strong>to</strong> display <strong>to</strong> all<br />
people everywhere the good news that<br />
God is calling out a people for His name<br />
from every nation, kindred, and <strong>to</strong>ngue<br />
through the redemptive work of the only<br />
Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Life By the Book<br />
It is a simple phrase that communicates<br />
our desire for the authority and sufficiency<br />
of the Bible <strong>to</strong> set the direction and<br />
govern every aspect of our personal and<br />
public lives. We believe that Life By the<br />
Book has the following five characteristics<br />
that we draw from Acts 2:41-47.<br />
Core Values<br />
Believe - Acts 2:41<br />
We want <strong>to</strong> have a regenerate membership<br />
rooted in gospel truth and growing in<br />
gospel-permeated thinking and living.<br />
Learn - Acts 2:42a<br />
We want <strong>to</strong> be a people that love, learn,<br />
and live God’s Word, delighting in its unique<br />
transforming power.
Love - Acts 2:42b-45<br />
We want <strong>to</strong> be a people growing <strong>to</strong>gether<br />
in Christlike character and conduct in order<br />
<strong>to</strong> be serving one another in love.<br />
Worship - Acts 2:46<br />
We want <strong>to</strong> be a people that encourage and<br />
engage in Christ-centered, zealous,<br />
reverent, God-exalting, life-permeating<br />
worship in large and small gatherings and in<br />
public and private devotion.<br />
Witness - Acts 2:47<br />
We desire <strong>to</strong> be a congregation where<br />
everyone is actively engaged in spreading<br />
the good news <strong>to</strong> all people.
Children’s Ministry<br />
Never <strong>to</strong>o early <strong>to</strong> be taught <strong>to</strong> love God and others<br />
The Hamp<strong>to</strong>n Park Baptist Church<br />
children’s ministry exists <strong>to</strong> glorify God<br />
in the church by providing purposeful,<br />
Christ-centered instruction for the<br />
formative years of a child’s life. Life by the<br />
Book begins in the cradle and continues<br />
throughout life. We labor <strong>to</strong> evangelize<br />
and disciple children through biblical<br />
instruction and prayer.<br />
Our desire is that the children of <strong>HP</strong>BC<br />
learn at an early age what it means <strong>to</strong> love<br />
God and others and <strong>to</strong> continue <strong>to</strong> live<br />
that way through life.<br />
Our children’s ministries go from newborn<br />
<strong>to</strong> the 6th grade.<br />

Student Ministry<br />
Students becoming passionate followers of Christ<br />
The Hamp<strong>to</strong>n Park Student Ministry vision<br />
is <strong>to</strong> see young adults become passionate<br />
followers of Jesus.<br />
Our mission is <strong>to</strong> partner with and equip<br />
parents in the making and maturing of their<br />
young adults in<strong>to</strong> devoted disciples of Jesus<br />
Christ by the power of the gospel and the<br />
Spirit, and for the glory of God in the church<br />
and among the nations.<br />
To that end we desire <strong>to</strong> lead students <strong>to</strong> be<br />
and <strong>to</strong> do what the New Testament reflects<br />
that the early church was and did,<br />
embracing Life by the Book.<br />

Power Company<br />
Continued<br />
The Power Company is designed <strong>to</strong> direct<br />
these folks <strong>to</strong> avoid the trap of retirement.<br />
After completing years of working in a<br />
particular career, this group of people has<br />
the glorious freedom <strong>to</strong> reinvent, reinvest,<br />
and renew their commitment <strong>to</strong><br />
celebrating life in the Lord. So many plan<br />
well financially for retirement, but few plan<br />
well for how they will live.<br />
It is our intention <strong>to</strong> help them anticipate<br />
this stage of life rather than dread it and<br />
fully engage in endless possibilities.<br />
