Our Vision:
Our vision for the Student Ministry at HMBC is to REACH students in our community and beyond. TEACH-ing them the truth of God’s word and showing them how to love their neighbor as themselves. Encouraging them to grow in their faith so they can be the hands and feet of Jesus to their peers, so that others will come to saving knowledge of Christ.
