“FOLLOW ME.”
These two simple words are a perfect summary of the Christian life. We are called to follow Jesus. This is our vision at Hayes Barton Baptist Church. We want to go where Jesus wants us to go, and we want to do what he wants us to do. And we want to help others do the same.
Why? Because following Jesus will change your life.
We would love for you to join us on this exciting journey. We’re not there yet, but that’s okay. After all, we are following Jesus, and Jesus knows the way.
–Dr. David J. Hailey, Pastor, Hayes Barton Baptist Church

About Us
What We Believe
We believe that the worship of God is central to our lives as believers, and our congregation proclaims the Gospel of Jesus Christ in all of our worship services. As an inclusive faith community, we welcome and encourage active participation from people of all walks of life, wherever they happen to be on their faith journey.

What to Expect
Above all, no matter who you are or in which of our programs you participate, expect to be accepted warmly, included equally, and challenged to worship God, grow your faith, and give freely of yourself. As a moderate Baptist church, Hayes Barton welcomes all visitors equally and encourages any level of participation with which you are comfortable.
We believe that the worship of God is central to our faith as Christians: it is to our spirits what oxygen is to our lungs. Without it, our faith would die. This belief leads us to worship with passion and joy in all of our services, fellowship, ministries, missions, and any time we are gathered together.

Worship
At HBBC, our worship style tends toward the traditional, striving to remain authentic, genuine, and timeless while staying relevant to the 21st Century. We believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ should be proclaimed in all of our worship services, and we typically read from the New Revised Standard version of the Bible.
Some members of our congregation tend to dress more formally for our Sunday morning service, while others dress a bit more casually. We accept everyone in our community as they are, so please do not feel discouraged from visiting our church based on attire.
Our worship music includes traditional hymns accompanied most often by organ, piano, and our Chancel Choir. Occasionally, our music is supplemented by other church choirs — preschool, children’s, youth, handbells — soloists, instrumentalists, and ensembles. We also incorporate other spiritual music styles and contemporary praise music styles to complement the service in the most engaging and effective way possible.
Worship Services
Children and Worship
At HBBC, we believe that worship is central to all of our lives as believers, so we encourage children to attend worship services with their parents to see their family members worshiping together. We strive to make each worship service as child friendly as possible, and we almost always include a Children’s Sermon as part of our normal Sunday Worship services.
The goal of these Children’s Sermons is to help our children feel welcome while relaying biblical truths in age-appropriate terms. Children’s Sermons most often take place after the first congregational hymn each Sunday. Children are invited to gather at the front of the sanctuary during the last stanza of the hymn for a short sermon from the minister and a brief prayer. Following this, children return to their seats, head to Children’s Church, or return to extended session.
