OUR PURPOSE AS A CHURCH
We are working toward making disciples who are growing toward maturity, being equipped for ministry in the Church, and serving to accomplish Christ’s mission in the world through gospel-centered worship, gospel-centered community, gospel-centered discipleship, gospel-centered service, and gospel-centered multiplication. A natural outflow of this purpose is to be mindful and intentional about missions. We actively strive to fulfill the Great Commission through local, regional/national, and international missions.
Hephzibah Baptist Church supports the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention, which allows us to give financially to missionaries in the state of Georgia, church planters throughout North America, and missionaries around the world. In addition to giving to the Cooperative Program, HBC supports the Augusta Baptist Association and gives financially to a number of smaller ministries at work in the Augusta area. In addition to participating in local mission projects, we regularly send out mission teams to participate in Great Commission work regionally in the Southeastern United States and internationally. In the summer of 2025, we will be sending our third international team in the past 10 years. Partnering with Emmaus Global Missions we will do evangelism in the Imbabura Province of Ecuador. Pray for us--or better yet partner with us--as we spread the knowledge of Jesus.
