Hempstead Bible Fellowship is a family of Christians that is biblically faithful, doctrinally shaped, morally tough, intellectually vibrant, and has a deep and abiding faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that we might fulfill the Great Commission for the glory of God. HBF is a Southern Baptist Church affiliated with the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention (SBTC) on the state level and the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) nationally. We are in agreement with the Baptist Faith and Message (2000).
At HBF, prayer and the Word of God are the primary focus of ministry. We believe that the Holy Spirit uses the Scriptures both to convict sinners leading to repentance and salvation, and to equip and encourage the people of God so that they will walk in holy obedience before the Lord, and be faithful witnesses for Jesus Christ. Therefore, our pastor preaches text-driven, expository sermons through the Word of God on Sunday mornings, and at additional teaching venues within the life of our church. Similarly, the discipleship ministries of HBF focus on the clear and faithful teaching of Scripture. It is our prayerful expectation that the Lord will transform lives through the ministry of His Word. We invite you to join us on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. for prayer, for the preaching of the Word of God, for worship, and for the celebration of Communion on first Sundays.
What you may find different at our church is that children remain with their parents during our corporate worship service. Children are a blessing from the Lord and sometimes our little blessings may need some loving discipline during the service. It is not a disruption for a parent to step out with their child if correction is needed. We see it as a necessary part of child rearing and we are on this parenting journey together. A self-serve nursery is provided for your convenience. We also share a delicious meal and warm fellowship every Sunday so please plan to stay for lunch. We look forward to meeting you!
