Narrow the Focus

There is a tendency for all organizations, including churches to move from simple to complex, from concise to confusing. Many times their scope broadens to the point of being ineffective. The power of a laser is the intensity of its focus.

At HDBC we have determined to resist the tendency to spread ourselves so thin that we are not effective. Sometimes less is more. We have decided that it is best to do fewer things really well than to do many things not-so-well. We know that we cannot embrace every new ministry that comes along. We have precious but limited resources (volunteers, space and funds) and must use them in the most effective ways. In a phrase, we are committed to a narrow focus.

Love God, Connect to others, Serve the World.
