The purpose and ministry of Highland Drive Baptist Church can be condensed to three phrases. Love God, Connect to Others, Serve the World. Those phrases summarize what it means to be a committed, maturing follower of Jesus Christ. That is what we want to be and what we want to lead others to be. At HDBC we primarily demonstrate our love for God through worship. It is our desire to lead people into a love relationship with God that will result in worship. We primarily demonstrate that we are connected to others through small groups. It is our intention to lead people who have become regular worshippers of God to take the next step and get involved in a small group. Through small groups, relationships are developed, lives are enriched and fellowship happens. We serve the world through ministries, missions and evangelism. Our goal is to lead people to this important third step of serving. We were created for good works. God has called each person to give through service.
So, where are you in the process? Do you love God and demonstrate that through worship? Are you connected to others by being involved in a small group? Are you regularly serving in some ministry?
