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 />

Senior’s Ministry<br />

Glorify God through all of life’s stages<br />

Hamp<strong>to</strong>n Park Baptist Church designed <strong>to</strong><br />

encourage our senior saints <strong>to</strong><br />

actively embrace this latter stage of life<br />

for the glory of God. Particularly directed<br />

<strong>to</strong> those in our church family age 55+, this<br />

ministry uses monthly fellowships,<br />

service/visitation opportunities, lunches,<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 />
