Welcome To HRBC
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as in the habit of some, but encouraging one another, all the more as you see the Day drawing near. – Hebrews 10:24-25
Welcome new visitors to HRBC. It is our prayer and purpose to help people grow closer to Jesus. If you are looking for a church home or have any questions about who Jesus is, we want to serve you. It is our vision at Hampton Road Baptist Church to help you reach up in worship, reach in for discipleship and growth, and reach out in evangelism and ministry. We hope that you will join us in worship! If you have any questions not answered here or would like additional information about our church, please see our contact information below.

Hey HRBC! You ready to open up???
A lot of us are. However, let’s state right here and now that if for any reason you do not feel safe in getting out just yet, we want you to stay home. Worship services will still be shown on Facebook Live and later uploaded to our You Tube channel; please do not feel pressured to show up.
But…if you’re ready….we are now free to open our worship center, this Sunday, May 24th at 10:15 AM.
English service is at 10:30 AM; Spanish service is at 12:00 PM.
As mentioned in previous emails, we are taking necessary precautions:
1. We will be using gloves and masks in greeting folks.
2. Entrance to the facility will be restricted to three doors: NE, SW, and main entrance on Hampton Road.
3. The only open restrooms will be the ones downstairs, off the main (Foyer) (North) entrance of HRBC, just off the foyer. The others will be closed off as well as all other rooms.
4. Occupants in the elevator will be limited per trip.
5. Blankets will be available for those who need them, but will be washed each week here at the church.
6. Sanctuary pews will be marked off to allow for 6-foot social distancing. Of course, family households may sit closer together. The balcony will be open and set up in like manner.
7. Congregants are welcome to wear masks, but these will not be required.
8. Hand sanitizer will be readily available.
9. The church will be thoroughly cleaned prior to Sunday.
10. There will not be any childcare. But please do feel free to bring your children to worship. There will be a monitor showing the service in the coffee bar; parents are welcome to take their little ones there and sit with them if the service proves to be too much for little attention spans.
Sunday School in-house will not begin again until mid-June. Choir is not resuming at this time; we will issue a road alert when the time is right.
Office hours are back to normal, Monday-Thursday, 8:00 AM ’til 5:00 PM. Fridays are 8:00 AM ’til noon. However, building access will still be restricted, so please call prior to showing up.
We’re ready to go and look forward to seeing each and every one of you that can attend. Our utmost concern throughout this quarantine has been the welfare of our church family.
We love you!
Your HRBC Staff

Every Sunday we bring a message that is thought provoking, insightful, hopeful, and always points to the Gospel.

Worship The Lord In Giving
Faith and finances are inseparable; you cannot divide them. When we give our tithes and offerings, we are reminded of how much God has done in each and every one of our lives. He is the ultimate provider and sustainer. He not only deserves the highest praise, but our first fruits. As Randy Alcorn says, “The more we give, the more we delight in our giving- and the more God delights in us. Our giving pleases us. But more importantly, it pleases God.”
