ABOUT US

You will find a place to call home at HBC. We are a community of baptized believers who have become a Christian family. As an Independent Baptist Church, we believe the Bible is our sole authority for faith and practice. We gather to worship God, exalt Jesus Christ, love one another, and bring others to Christ.

Where Would I Fit In?

Our Services are attended by people from all walks and life stages. You will find a home for your family at HBC.

Sunday Bible Classes

Our adult Sunday School class meets in the auditorium. Classes are also available for children as young as two-years-old up to 12th grade. These classes give them an opportunity to grow spiritually and learn vital biblical truths at a young age. The Adult Bible class and Sunday School classes meet at 10:00AM. This is the perfect opportunity for you and your family to meet other fellow believers and learn great Bible truths.

First-Class Child Care

We provide first-class nurseries and childcare for your children up to three years old. They will be kept safe and well-supervised as they play, sing songs, and learn the love of God. We instill procedures to keep the children safe. We run background checks on all of our nursery workers to ensure your children’s safety.

Plenty Of Parking

We have plenty of parking available in our paved lot. We provide parking attendants to help you find a spot for your vehicle. Also, we have marked spaces for handicapped and visitors.

You Are Welcome

There is no dress code to attend our public services, but in case you’re wondering, a majority of our church members wear their “Sunday best.” We know that this may be different for each person but encourage everyone to come and be part of our services.

Sunday Services

Every Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon, the main Sunday preaching service is held in the Auditorium with Pastor Paul Gaylord. As you walk in, a friendly usher will greet you and be available for you to help you find a seat and answer any questions you may have. We believe in having church services with good, uplifting hymns and spiritual songs that will stir and inspire you. Best of all, the practical preaching from God’s Word will stir your heart and change your life. We love guests at our church and if there is anything we can do for you, please let us know.

Singing And Special Music

Every service gives you an opportunity to join us in singing hymns and spiritual songs. Each row provides songbooks for you to use located in front of every pew. You’ll enjoy the music as the choir sings to the accompaniment of our piano. We also have many ensembles, youth singers, and singing groups throughout the services.

Prayer

We are a church that believes in prayer. Throughout the service, prayers are led at different times. Some of these prayers deal with the needs and requests of our church family and friends, while others simply praise and thank God for His goodness and faithfulness.

Preaching

We consider the preaching of the Word of God to be the best and the most important time of the service. I Corinthians 1:21 reads, “. . . it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.” We believe that the best help you can get in any struggle of life is from the Bible and that preaching is that help.

Invitation

At the end of the preaching, Pastor Paul Gaylord will ask everyone to stand as he gives an invitation. This is a time for many to respond and make life-changing decisions by walking down the aisle and praying at the altar. A decision may be to trust Jesus Christ as personal Saviour, request believer’s baptism, church membership, or to become a better Christian. Whatever your decision may be, the altar is open to you to join others who will make decisions. If you would like someone to pray for you or would like to make your decision public, men from our church will be by the altar to pray with you and help you.

Baptism

Those who have trusted Jesus Christ are baptized by immersion. We will make it easy to be baptized as soon as possible after you get saved. However, we do not believe you can be saved by baptism. People get baptized on a regular basis here at Granite State Baptist Church. If you would like to be baptized, make your way to the altar, and an altar worker will be available to assist you.

Bible Study

The Wednesday Evening Bible study takes place every week at 7:00PM in the Auditorium of Hillsboro Baptist Church. This is a time during the week when the church family gathers to learn practical, relevant truths from the Bible taught by Pastor Gaylord. You will learn truths that will help you in the areas of prayer, marriage, family, relationships, and more!
