It is God’s desire for every married couple to enjoy a strong, healthy and fulfilling marriage.

Coupled 2gether

Coupled 2gether is a ministry dedicated to helping married couples build a Godly marriage. Our purpose in this ministry is to:

• Build and strengthen the foundation of the marriage relationship through fellowship and teaching from the Word of God.
• Provide an opportunity for married couples to meet and build relationships with one another through planned social activities.
• Provide a time to pray for the married couples and families in our church.

Marriage 101

An extension of our Coupled 2gether Ministry. Our C2G ministry leaders, Paul and Dede Vernocy, invite all married couples, as well as engaged couples who are presently attending HBCC’s premarital guidance sessions, to attend our Marriage 101 classes.

This class is designed to help couples strengthen their marriage through enriched teaching that will help build a lasting and joy-filled marriage. Video teachings are provided by such well-known authors as Jimmy Evans, Dr. Henry Cloud, Gary Smalley and many more. Whether you’ve been married 40 years or 4 months, you will find encouragement, inspiration and practical help for your Christian marriage.

Please check the events page for upcoming dates. Sign-up is not required. A married spouse may attend alone. Please note that we are not able to accommodate children.

[This group is currently suspended.] Our Second Wind Ministry is designed especially to enrich the lives of our senior saints through weekly fellowships and ministry in the Word. We enjoy periodic events like pot-luck movies and picnics.

The vision of Second Wind is:

• To see Psalm 92:12-15 fulfilled in the lives of those 60 years and better: “The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall bear fruit in their old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing, to declare that the Lord is upright. He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”

• That each member comes to know their individual purpose as born-again, spirit-filled believers serving Almighty God.
• That each member will realize the valuable benefits of aging, among which are wisdom and experience.
• To build strong, meaningful and lasting relationships.
• To see each member having a heart for the lost, reaching beyond the church walls to minister God’s love to a hurting world.
