About us

As we journey together under the banner of "Rejoice! Renew! Reach Out!" we envision a church that not only experiences the richness of God's love but also actively shares that love with the world.

Rejoice!

Our worship services are uplifting celebrations, filled with fellowship, scripture, music, and prayer to express gratitude for the grace we've received as brothers and sisters in Christ. As a community, we rejoice in the presence of God, fostering an atmosphere where love, hope, and joy overflow. 

Renew!

We aspire to be a place of spiritual renewal—a sanctuary where individuals encounter the transformative power of faith. Through dynamic faith formation programs and Bible studies, we seek to deepen our understanding of God's Word, empowering each member to grow spiritually.

Reach Out!

As followers of Christ, we are called to extend our arms in love and compassion to those around us. We embody a church that actively engages with the community to address both spiritual and practical needs, extending the love of Christ to the world and demonstrating His transformative power.

Together, these elements form the foundation of a vibrant and purposeful community at HCC.

Our Story

With roots firmly planted in the soil of tradition and innovation, HCC boasts a rare and distinctive combination that sets it apart from other faith communities. HCC holds dual-denominational standing, affiliated with the American Baptist Church USA and the United Church of Christ. The foundation laid by the pioneers of HCC reflects a deep commitment to theological inclusivity and a vibrant expression of faith. This rare amalgamation not only sustains our present but also propels us into the future with strength and resilience. As we honor our storied past, HCC remains resolute in building upon this strong foundation, ensuring that our journey continues to be one of relevance, inspiration, and unwavering devotion, poised for a future marked by the enduring values that define us.
