Inkjet Cartridge Recycling Program: Heritage Baptist Church currently has an inkjet collection program. If you have any empty inkjet cartridges to donate, please read these helpful hints. The empty inkjet cartridges that we usually throw away as trash can be recycled and remanufactured. Bring those empty cartridges to the church office and place them in the collection bin. We get paid for each empty inkjet cartridge regardless of the brand or type. Put the cartridge in the original box that you would have thrown away after it has been replaced to keep it safe from damages and spills, or a Ziploc bag.
KidWalk: Go the Extra Distance for Our Kids on Saturday, May 2nd, beginning at 7:30 am. Don't forget to sign up for KidWalk, a fun, brand-new event brought to you by six local charities. Enjoy a 5k walk starting at the Naval Academy stadium and winding through downtown Annapolis. Or, just come out for the fun activities from 9-11am. We are counting on you to sign up and get lots of sponsors so that we can raise money for the underprivileged children of Anne Arundel County to bring them food, shelter, education and fun - a true childhood! A sign up sheet is posted on the bulletin board by the church office or see Lynn Keckler for more details.

OUR MISSION
We believe Heritage Baptist Church exists to be a beacon reflecting God's unconditional love in Annapolis and surrounding communities. Using the Bible as our guide, our purpose is to share the Gospel message so that others may become followers of Jesus Christ and to provide an environment that facilitates the strengthening of believers. Each member, like every disciple of Christ, is commissioned to be faithful in the worship of God, Christian ministry, and fellowship with believers. We will continually look to God for power and direction to chart our course.
