Join us Sundays @ 9 AM & 11 AM
The Alpha Course
If you've ever had questions about faith but never had a place to actually ask them, the Alpha Course is that place.
Alpha kicks off September 16th and runs seven Wednesdays, 7-8:30pm. Dinner, a short video, and honest conversation about the things that matter most. Whether you're checking it out for the first time or you've been walking with Jesus for years, there's something here for you.
Man Time
Join our next Man Time gathering on Thursday, September 24th, in Haith Hall. Whether you've been at HTC for a while or are brand new, these gatherings are a perfect space to connect with other guys, be strengthened in your walk with God, and of course eat some fantastic food. Pastor Brian will be sharing and we can't wait to see you there!
Newcomers Gathering
If you're newer to HTC and you haven't had a chance to meet anyone yet, we want to change that — and we have a really easy way to do it.
Our Newcomers Gathering is Sunday, September 27th, happening after both services. It's a relaxed time to chat with our pastors and staff, hear a little about who we are, and share a bit of your own story. It's not a class, it's not a membership meeting, and there's nothing you need to prepare. Just come, meet some of the people at HTC, and let us get to know you a little.
First Friday
September means a new season is starting — and First Friday is a great way to kick yours off right.
Our monthly Young Adults gathering is back on October 2nd. Dinner, worship, a message, and a room full of people who'd love to meet you. It doesn't matter if this is your first time or your fifteenth, everyone is welcome.
Youth Trip to Cox Farms
HTC Youth is heading to Cox Farms on Sunday, October 4th!

Instead of Youth Service that night, We’re planning a fun outing with the whole youth group—think fall vibes, hayrides, and apple cider as we kick off the fall season! Mark your calendar, invite friends, and get ready for a festive day together!
SALT Social
SALT is our 55 and Better community and if it's been a minute since you've connected, this is the easiest way back in.
Join us Sunday, October 4th at 12:30pm in the library for our SALT Social — kicking off the new season after a break for summer. Drop by to say hello, or stay and hang out for a while. We'll have light refreshments and share a quick look at what's ahead for SALT this year. We'd love to see you there.
Global Mission Weekend
Our Global Mission Weekend is coming up and it’s a chance to hear what God is doing around the world.
We're hosting three friends from Indonesia, Israel, and Peru. We'll kick things off Friday night with a time of prayer and worship for the nations. Sunday morning, you'll hear a quick glimpse from each ministry, and Sunday evening we'll slow down for their full stories. You don't want to miss this one!
My Sister’s Place Clothing Swap
Ladies, mark your calendars, because the evening of October 15th is going to be a good one.
We're starting with the Clothing Swap in the lobby from 5-7pm — no donation required to shop, just browse and bring a friend, or drop off clothing, accessories, or shoes anytime between October 4-13.
Then from 7-9pm, we'll gather for "My Sister's Place" around the topic "Unique: Crafted and Created for Good," hearing from women in our own congregation about their gifts, passions, and the seasons of life they're in. Come for worship, dinner, and a conversation worth being part of. If childcare costs are what's holding you back, email michele@htc.us — we'd love to help make it work.
Baptism Sunday
Our next Baptism Sunday is October 18th. It's a chance to stand up, tell your story, and celebrate what God has done in your life — surrounded by your church family. We'll have baptisms in both services, and if you decide to take that step, you'll get access to a short class on the theology and practice of baptism. If you're a younger member of our HTC family, start the conversation with your parents and reach out to your youth leader. We'd love to celebrate with you.
Alpha Holy Spirit Day
If you’ve ever had questions about the Holy Spirit but weren't sure where to ask them, then join us for the Alpha Holy Spirit Day on Saturday, October 24th from 10am-2pm. It's one day set aside to explore who the Holy Spirit is, how He works, and what His gifts look like in the life of a believer. No question is too basic or too big. Whether you're newer to faith or you've been walking with Jesus for years and just want to go deeper, you're more than welcome here.
Career Network Ministry
If work is a tough subject right now — whether you're between jobs, changing direction, or just not sure what's next — you don't have to figure it out alone.
Career Network Ministry meets every second and fourth Tuesday right here at HTC. It's one of the most trusted job support ministries on the East Coast, and it's completely free. Expert guidance, real encouragement, and a community of professionals who get it. If any of that resonates, come check it out on the second and fourth Tuesday every month.
weekly prayer Gatherings
HTC is a house of prayer. We gather in person or online daily to enjoy the presence of God, offer the worship he deserves, and ask for his power to act in our lives, church, community, and nation.
