A LITTLE ABOUT US
Christ is the head of our church, singularly focused by grace alone, by faith alone, in Christ alone, through Scripture alone, to the glory of the Triune God alone.
We are a praying church, attentive to the Spirit's lead, lifting each other up daily with mercy and love as instructed by the Word.
We are Scripture-focused, teaching and sharing the gospel, God’s inerrant Word, as we learn and grow together in discipleship as the family of Christ.
We enjoy a safe, healthy environment, autonomously governed by individuals, members, deacons, and our pastor, looking out for our own, while also welcoming others.
HBC is a pillar of the community, meeting needs, serving youth, family, and elders alike, orthodox in nature, and mission-minded for over 125 years.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
Hainesville Baptist Church Articles of Faith
1. INERRANT WORD: We believe the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error, as the all-sufficient authority in matters of faith, doctrine, and Christian living. (2 Tim 3:16)
2. TRIUNE GOD: We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. (Matt 3:16-17, Matt 28:19)
3. VIRGIN BIRTH & RESURRECTION: We believe in the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ, and that He is truly God and man. He died on the cross for our sins. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father and is now our High Priest and Advocate. (Matt 1:23, John 1:1, 1 Cor 15:1-4)
4. MAN IN GOD’S IMAGE: We believe that man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is thereby lost. Only through regeneration by the work of the Holy Spirit can man's salvation and spiritual life be obtained. (Gen 1:27, Rom 5:12, Titus 3:5) We also believe that life begins at conception. (Psalms 139:13-16)
5. FAMILY & MARRIAGE: We believe that God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption. (1 Tim 3:5, 1 Cor 11:3) Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime. (Matt 19:4-6)
6. SALVATION BY FAITH: We believe that eternal salvation is the free gift of God, entirely apart from man's works, and is possessed by any and all who have faith in and receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. (Eph 2:8-9)
7. FREE WILL: We believe in a regenerated church membership: that is, persons old enough to understand their need for Jesus Christ and, of their own free will, accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior. (John 1:12)
8. BAPTISM & LORD'S SUPPER: We believe that baptism is by immersion and the Lord's Supper is a memorial to His suffering and death on the cross. These are ordinances to be observed by the church in its present age. They are, however, not to be regarded as means for man's salvation. (Acts 2:38, 1 Cor 11:26)
9. SECOND COMING: We believe in the personal, bodily, imminent, and glorious return of the Lord Jesus Christ and that His Second Coming inspires believers for a dynamic and zealous life of service for Him while waiting for His return. (Heb 9.28, Gal 6:9-10)
10. JUDGMENT: We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, the everlasting blessedness of the saved in heaven, and the everlasting punishment and separation from God of the unsaved in hell. (Dan 12:2)
11. CHURCH AUTONOMY: We believe in the autonomy of the local church whose head is the Lord Jesus Christ. The church shall manage its own affairs governed and served by elders and deacons as prescribed in Scripture. And shall not be subject to any other religious body or organization. (Acts 20:28, Matt 22:21)
