PLAN A VISIT
What to expect at Hampton Road
What kind of people will I find?
HRBC is filled with families and individuals who are outgoing, loving, and accepting. Wherever you are in life, whatever your background, whatever your struggles, we’re here to support you in taking the next step in your relationship with God. From the youngest babies up to our senior adults, there is a place for you.
What does a typical worship service look like?
Is this your first time visiting? Never been to a Baptist church before? Don’t worry there are no unspoken ecxpectations for you during the service.
Our Sunday morning service begins at 10:30 am and you can expect it to last around an hour and ten minutes. Our worship style is a blend of contemporary worship and classic hymns. We have a praise team and a full choir. We try to appeal to the newer generations by singing some songs that are current and fresh, while not forgetting the great, theologically rich hymns of our heritage.
You will hear a relevant message form God’s Word and be taught how to apply it to your life. We use the last few minutes of our service as a time of prayer, reflection, and invitation.
There is no expectation of you giving money as a visitor. You will never be pressured to join; however, we would love for you to be part of our HRBC family.
What I should I wear?
We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you’re joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you’re wearing. It’s not uncommon to see people wearing jeans. Others prefer to still put on their “Sunday best,” and that’s fine too! We think you’ll fit in no matter how you dress.
What is available for my children?
We have programs available for children birth through 12th grade, both on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. Even down to the babies, we seek to provide a place to train up children to know Jesus personally, grow in their knowledge of Him, and learn to share Him with others. All ages meet at 9:00 am for the Sunday School hour where they learn Biblical fundamentals in a way they can understand and enjoy. Children, birth through age five, have an extended time of learning and care during the worship service at 10:30. School-age children worship alongside their parents in the regular service.
