Gather and Worship with Us

As of Sunday, June 7, we are gathering in person again!  We invite you to join us!  If you plan to join us, please be aware of the following precautions that we are taking to protect those who attend.

  • Please wear a mask as you enter and leave the building.  Once you are seated, you may remove the mask for the duration of the gathering.  Please wear the mask as you dismiss and leave the building.  
  • Please maintain safe social distancing and avoid congregating in the lobby or auditorium.  If you wish to fellowship, we ask that you do so in the parking lot/outdoors after the gathering and that you use safe distance guidelines.  
  • We are asking that everyone use the main entrance under the portico.  To minimize areas of the building that need to be cleaned, we are limiting access to the doors under the portico.
  • A greeter will be manning the door for you so that one needs to handle the doors on the way in or out of the building.  All greeters/ushers will be wearing masks.
  • Hand sanitizer will be available for your use.  
  • A greeter/usher will be present in the lobby and auditorium to assist you in seating and any other questions you may have.  
  • We will have an offering plate on the welcome center for you to deposit your tithe and offerings in before or after our gathering time.  If you prefer (or if you are not comfortable attending) you may also continue to mail them in.
  • We have roped off pews to safe social distancing guidelines.  We are attempting to limit seating to the center two sections to avoid having to clean and disinfect the wing sections.  Please follow the encouraged seating.  A greeter/usher will be available to assist or answer questions.   
  • Please avoid using the hymnals or pew bibles to help decrease the amount of disinfecting that needs to be done.  If needed, you are welcome to use them, but please let an usher/greeter know so that we can be sure to disinfect it prior to use again.  
  • We ask that children under the age of 10 remain with parent at all times.  If they need to use the bathroom, please accompany them to ensure they maintain safe social distancing, and properly clean their hands.
  • After the service, we encourage parents to encourage their children to fellowship with their friends while using social distancing guidelines.  
  • We have closed off the building except for the auditorium, lobby, office hallway, and office bathroom.  We ask that you refrain from entering all parts of the building save for these.  Again, this aids us in keeping the building clean and disinfected.  
  • The only bathroom that will be open and available for use will be the single bathroom in the office hallway.  Please do not use the main bathrooms at this time.  
  • If you are sick or are experiencing any ill symptoms, we ask that you join us from home on the Youtube Livestream.  If you are not comfortable attending live at this time, we also invite you to join us from home on the live stream.  https://www.youtube.com/user/mkshmily/live
  • We will continue (for the month of June) to meet for Ladies Bible Study and Prayer Meeting through Zoom.

Hephzibah Baptist Church exists for the purpose of becoming, and helping others become, more like Jesus. We commit ourselves to this pursuit through God’s grace, and hope to bear fruit for His glory in four key areas including, Worship, Relationship, Service, and Proclamation
​

Worship

Worship is the awe-inspired, passionate reverence and love for the God who created us! It is a natural consequence of the committed believer, and demands our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. As we grow together to become more like Jesus, we believe in developing a lifestyle of worship that places God at the center of our lives.

Relationships

The relationships we have with one another say a lot about our relationship with Almighty God! We believe by encouraging, supporting, and being the expression of grace to those around us, we can demonstrate the unmistakable characteristics of a follower of Jesus! 

Service

Jesus Christ was the ultimate servant! His timeless example compels us to use the spiritual gifts God has given us in the service of others. We believe this is a vital testimony in our walk with Jesus.  

Proclamation

When Jesus hung on Calvary’s cross, His outstretched arms were not only bearing the weight of man’s sin, they were also embracing a fallen humanity.  Central to becoming like Jesus is to trust alone in His provision for forgiveness and repent of our sin. We believe it is our duty to proclaim this truth in both word and deed.
