We are a local body of believers in submission to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. While God never changes, we as the church are always being reformed (semper reformanda) and refined…being made pure for Christ (2 Cor. 11:2).  The mission of the church never changes. We are to glorify God in all that we do. It can be summed up (but not confined to) the Great Commission…
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
We are to proclaim the Gospel, baptize disciples, and teach them to obey God. That said we must recognize times and seasons (Ecc. 3:1,). We are entering into a new season here at Haynes. Since 1959 we have served as a neighborhood church with vibrant life. In recent years, by God’s Providence our congregation has decreased in size but not in love for God and love for neighbor. By that same Providence we believe that our church will once again thrive. Now we have a tremendous opportunity to rebuild the walls (Neh. 4:10) so to speak. We are looking for those who are tired of watching ministry happen and want to participate in the work and watch God bring the increase!
At Haynes we want to love the Lord in simplicity and service, always seeking to glorify the One who has redeemed us.
We want your help. Let’s build a church that is pleasing to our Lord.
Our mission hasn’t changed, because our God hasn’t changed. We believe there are many bright and beautiful days ahead. God isn’t finished with you, and He isn’t finished with us. Let’s get to work. Soli Deo Gloria (to God alone be the glory)!.
