FAMILY LIFE CENTER AT HBBC
Aside from Sunday School and worship services, churches were often the places where folks gathered for basketball games, baseball games, recreation, and social events. Our Family Life Center has become that place where we seek to strengthen and extend our Christ-centered community of faith and expand our outreach. Many activities happen here, including basketball, fitness classes, yoga, mission opportunities, birthday parties, summer camps, etc. We hope you’ll consider being a part of one of these opportunities.
Garrett Ferguson
Director of Family Life Center

Our schedule includes fitness classes, basketball leagues, church-wide recreation opportunities, special events, and more! No matter what your age or fitness level, we have something for you. We hope you will make use of our facilities! We are also available for ongoing community classes or special events.
Greater Triangle Area CROP Hunger Walk
If we work together, we can end world hunger. That’s why we’re participating in the CROP Hunger Walk to support CWS and help families who are struggling with hunger. Please join the HBBC team with your steps and/or your donations. Together we will provide more meals for the growing number of people in our community who need them and create greater food security in communities around the world. Please donate to our team today!
