In our 2008 church budget, $2500 was budgeted for The Helping Fund. This fund is used to assist individuals with utility bill turnoffs or eviction notices. Since January we have averaged giving about $400 per month from this fund. If this trend continues, this budgeted line item will be depleted long before the end of the year. Because of this, the Missions Committee voted to donate the entire Spring Missions Offering to supplement the Helping Fund. This offering will be taken on Sundays, May 11 and May 18. Our goal is $3,000.00 which will allow our church to continue doing what we can to support those in desperate need in our community. This is truly HOME MISSIONS! You will find mission envelopes in the pew racks and in your 2008 offering envelopes, or you can mark a regular envelope "Mission Offering."

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.
