Youth Ministries
With a long history in youth ministry, we are proud of our past, excited about our present, and expecting amazing things from our future, as we see God working in this ministry at HPC. Teenagers and their unique challenges and developmental needs are important to God and important to us. We seek to offer a comprehensive, holistic, fun, and welcoming ministry to students in middle school and high school. While staffed by a volunteer team for now, our team grew up in youth groups, participating in mission trips and worship services, and has a combined experience of fifty-ish years of youth work as volunteers or staff under their belts! While this makes them sound really old, they are young at heart and anxious to see our HPC Youth Group grow! If you have questions, please reach out and one of them will get back to you!

Sunday Bible Study
All are welcome to join us following worship each week, around 11:30 am, for Bible Study in the Yellow Room. Bring your Bible and friends and join us for study and discussion on what Pastor Rachel is preaching. We also study other books of the Bible or curriculums during the year. We are developing additional discipleship opportunities, so stay tuned for more information!
Women’s Ministries
We are excited to announce we will be joining the women of Old Scotch Church for their annual retreat. Pastor Rachel will be speaking, and this is a timely weekend for renewal, fellowship, and growth. The retreat is scheduled for January 17-18, 2026. Come for the day only, or spend the night with us and join us for worship before heading home. More details available soon!
Men’s Ministries
Men’s Breakfasts are offered quarterly at HPC, hosting a speaker or reflection by an HPC member or leader. This is a time to grow together and to fellowship, and friends of all ages are welcome! Occasional BBQs, work parties, and other events are also offered.
Nursery Ministry
“Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Mark 10:15 (NIV) We are excited to reopen our nursery on Sundays! Our Nursery is staffed by qualified and background-checked volunteers, skilled at caring for infants and toddlers. More information is coming soon on this reopening, including an open house and opportunity to donate gently-used or new toys.
