Our Why
Our Why
HBC is a broad church that seeks to be open and inclusive of people at all stages of their faith journey and from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. This makes us really comfortable with questions and searching. And so, we don’t have an explicit and detailed basis of faith. But what we do have – to keep us grounded – is a ‘why.’ This why we gather together and do this thing called church.
Why do we do church?
We trust God exists, loves us all and wants to renew all things.
Why is community important?
We trust we need each other to know God in all God’s fullness, to experience God’s love in all its power, and to live in God’s life of justice and joy.
Why does this matter?
We trust in doing faith together we will be living the lives we were made to live, bringing blessing to each other, our community and all of creation.
Why do we think we can live this way?
We trust all of this is known and possible through all that God has revealed and done in Jesus Christ and in the power and love of the Holy Spirit.
