We structure our worship services around two essential biblical themes: revelation and response. As God reveals himself through His Word, we respond in grateful worship. Because our services are formed by Scripture, you’ll find that a typical gathering rehearses the gospel through reading the Bible, corporate prayers, congregational singing, joyful giving, expositional preaching, and observing the ordinances of baptism and communion.

A warm welcome and Scripture-saturated worship. When you arrive, we’ll have designated parking spaces located directly in front of the Worship Center. A friendly face from our Guest Services Team can then direct you and answer any questions you may have. And finally, find a seat to worship the Lord with us.

We’ve intentionally designed our ministries to provide safe and engaging learning environments for every child. Nursery, Preschool, and Elementary* programs are available every Sunday during the 9am and 10:15am hours. Middle & High School students gather for small group Bible study and discussion during the 9am hour and then join our main worship gathering at 10:15am. *Grades K5-5th grade join our main worship until 10:30am when they’re dismissed to Kids’ Worship (K5-2nd & 3rd-5th) with an age-specific program and teaching.

We continually take proactive and deliberate steps to minimize risk and strengthen our children/students protection protocols. All volunteers working with children from zero to eighteen undergo extensive screening and training. This includes a minimum six month screening process, background checks, face-to-face interviews, sexual abuse awareness training, and on-the-job oversight by ministry directors. Our facilities are designed and equipped to provide safe and engaging learning environments for everyone.

We are a multi-generational group, from a mixture of backgrounds, who desire to follow Jesus together. We usually have 600-650 in attendance on a Sunday morning with about 150 under 5th grade. And since it’s Florida, you’ll find people wearing whatever is comfortable—anything from polos and jeans to business casual to tshirt, shorts, and flip flops.

Yes. Our community groups and Wednesday night studies are structured in such a way to allow men and women across all generations to share in life together. We believe meaningful fellowship focuses on encouraging one another in a mutual pursuit of Christ-likeness, and we’ve found that the best way to begin forming relationships is by consistent worship, community, and service.

Because we believe effective service flows directly from worship and community, the best way to get involved is to consistently attend our public gatherings and start building relationships through small group community. Practically, we have as many areas to serve as there are individual gifts—audio/visual, care, children’s ministry, music, fellowship and hospitality, security, etc. With many of these areas first requiring that you join our church family in membership, visit hbclakeland.com/membership to sign-up for our next cohort.
