Our Programs

We have a place for every child at HBC and your child is welcome to join us! Children ages 3-10 (see Youth Programs for ages 11-18) are dismissed shortly into the service to go to Kids Church.

Kids Church is a fun Christ-centred learning environment. Kids will enjoy singing songs, playing games, and learning about the Bible. They can also expect to make crafts (and many times science experiments) all while building community with one another.

An unsupervised nursery room is available for busy toddlers where caregivers can chat with one another as well as listen to a live stream of the service.

Join us for a high-energy hour of games, engaging Bible stories, and time to connect with friends and leaders.

Our goal is to create a safe, encouraging environment where kids can laugh, learn about Jesus, and build meaningful relationships with others in their church community. Whether your child is energetic, curious, or just looking to make new friends, there’s a place for them at Kids Club! 🎉

Youth can expect to dig deep into their Bibles every Sunday morning with Pastor Colin. Youth are dismissed after the worship section of the service.

Come on out, bring a friend, and expect to have a great time at Wednesday night Youth Group! Pastor Colin will be sure to give you a night to remember with his outrageous games, and meaningful talks about God's limitless love.

‘Care Groups’ are mainly social in nature bringing together 6-12 people for a time of regular fellowship. While not a Bible Study, discussion of Bible topics is encouraged as we all learn from each other.
‍
These groups’ goal is to build on Christ’s command to love our neighbours through fellowship, growth in our love for each other, and in our personal faith in Christ. They may be on going or simply for a specific length of time, purpose or topic.

Bible Studies can be of different natures in order to fit with a person’s time available and desire to more deeply understand the Word of God.
‍
Some will be of a deeper study nature that requires devoting weekly time to reading an assigned passage, answering questions and then coming together to discuss everyone’s answers, prayer and encouragement.

Some will be of a discussion nature which will involve viewing or listening to a presentation and participating in a ‘round table’ or discussion time about the topic or Bible passage the video or other media presented.
