Mission Purpose Statement 

Our desire at Hephzibah Baptist Church as a missions-minded body of believers is to be actively involved in fulfilling the “Great Commission” both here in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and to all points of the earth (Acts 1:8).

We believe the example given to us in Acts 2, whereby gospel-based believers carried the truth of Christ into every language and nation through the effectual working power of the Holy Spirit, is still an effective model for the church today.

We seek to be obedient to God’s Word (Matthew 28:19,20) through our own personal witness on the mission fields where He has placed us and to faithfully and tenaciously love and support God’s servants around the world through our prayers, finances and gifts of encouragement.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
