If little girls can grow up knowing they belong in God's family, they should also grow up knowing they can answer God's call - wherever it leads.
We're grateful to be a church where everyone is welcome to learn, lead, serve, and belong.

Weโre proud to be raising kids who look out for each other, care about their community, and understand what it means to show up for people ๐
Thatโs what church family is all about at Hendricks Avenue Baptist Church.
Wishing everyone a #MemorialDay Weekend filled with love, laughter, good memories, and time spent with the people who matter most. โค๏ธ๐ค๐
As we enjoy the weekend together, we also pause to remember and honor those who sacrificed so much for our country.
Youth Sunday at HAB was something special ๐
We had the honor of celebrating our three high school seniors. So proud of who they are and all thatโs ahead. Grateful to walk alongside them in this season and cheering them on every step of the way.
The future is bright โจ
Even today there are tombs to be opened, and often the stones sealing them are so heavy and so closely guarded that they seem to be immovable. Some weigh heavily on the human heart, such as mistrust, fear, selfishness and resentment; others, stemming from these inner struggles, sever the bonds between us through war, injustice and the isolation of peoples and nations. Let us not allow ourselves to be paralyzed by them! #Easter
Senior Pastor BJ Hutto is truly answering the callโฆ a fisher of people ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ fish. ๐ฃ๐
Looks like he took Matthew 4:19 quite literally this Spring Break, casting nets for hearts and hauling in striped bass on Lake Murray! ๐
Please join us in welcoming Daniel Phillips, who officially joined the HAB family during worship!
Just over a month ago, Daniel shared his desire to join the church and be baptized, and weโre so grateful to celebrate this next step with him.
This reminds me of Jensen Huang talk at Stanford, where he said:
โGreatness does not come out of intelligence, it comes from character. Character is not formed out of smart people, it is formed out of people who have suffered.โ
Laissez les bons temps rouler ๐ทโ๏ธ
What a joy it was to be with our senior adults New Orleansโstyle! With live jazz filling the room, festive dรฉcor, and plenty of laughter to go around, the good times truly did roll.๐
What a beautiful night at HAB ๐ค๐จ
This month we are honored to showcase the work of Dawn Inglis Montgomery. ๐ผ๏ธ
Thank you to everyone who came out to support, connect, and celebrate creativity in our shared space. More nights like this, please โจ
Dostoevsky wrote this after nearly being executed:
โWhen I look back at my life, I feel pain not because of suffering, but because of wasted time. I see how carelessly I lived, how often I ignored the quiet voice of my soul, how rarely I understood the value of a single moment. Only when death stood before me did I realize that life is not merely existenceโit is a miracle. Every minute is a treasure, and in every breath, there is the possibility of happiness.โ
A quiet kind of beauty this Sunday โ๏ธ
Icicles forming on the fountain after gentle snow flurries reminds us that even the cold holds something sacred.
Wishing you a peaceful, hope-filled Sunday ๐ค
