Ministries

Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’ Children have a trusting innocence that we at Haymarket Baptist want to preserve and nurture. We strive to accomplish this through Children’s Sunday School and Children’s Worship each Sunday morning. We encourage the children to participate in Wednesday children’s ministry and we like to hold regular special events for the children to enjoy and engage in.

The youth at Haymarket Baptist Church (HBC) are involved in multiple activities. They meet on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am for Sunday School and Sunday evenings at 5:00 pm for Youth Group which involves a fellowship time, games, and Bible Study. Our youth come together from all walks of life to learn what it means to be a Christian, continue to grow in their faith together, and make an impact on the world around them. 

The name of the class – J. O. Y. (Jesus, Others, You), describes what we see as the order of priorities in our lives. It is an adult class made up of varied ages with both married and single members. We study books of the Bible or other books based on the Bible as determined by the class. Through Bible study we strive to better understand the spiritual truths of the scriptures and how they can help us to follow Jesus daily. Come join us – all are welcome!

The Men’s Bible Study meets at 8:30 am on Saturday mornings at the church. We typically read a  book of the Bible and an accompanying Bible Commentary or some other evangelical scholar.

Women’s Bible Study is open to women of all ages – members or non-members of the church. Studies are usually in the 6 to 12 week range and pertain to Books of the Bible, the lives of different people in the Bible (Ruth, Esther, Paul…) or a topical study (Prayer, Fruits of the Spirit, Parables…). This class is offered in-person, as well as on-line. And, meets once a month for a fellowship luncheon typically on the 3rd Monday of the month.  

Haymarket Baptist Church (HBC) features an active deaf ministry led by Rev. Peter Brawley.

Our deaf member Sunday School is called “Praising Hands” and meets Sunday mornings at 9:45 am at the church.

For worship, our entire service is interpreted in American Sign Language (ASL) alongside our regular service.

Additionally, HBC offers two American Sign Language (ASL) classes.

The Deaf Ministry at Haymarket Baptist Church began on October 19, 2003 under the guidance of Mike Mack.
