Next Step Initiative
Growing Together
For over 8 years HCF has taken one Sunday a month for a ‘round table time’ in which we recreated a small group setting where people can connect, share and be in the Word together. We have found that this values each person in our family as having a voice and an opportunity to contribute to encouraging and receiving from others.
In September 2024 HCF launched the Next Step Initiative, restructuring our Sunday gatherings to create small group equipping within the Sunday experience 3 weeks of the month. This helps us to make more intimate connections during our Sunday gathering time which helps with encouragement, accountability, and support.
The church (ecclesia) is us, the people, and we believe that the mandate of Ephesians 4:11-16 is a key for the coming harvest – to raise up disciples who equip and disciple others.

Kingdom Kids
What The Animals In The Bible Teach Us About God
There are many different animals in the Bible. We can look at the stories of these animals to learn
powerful lessons of obedience, love and how we can live God’s way.
Kids will learn that God’s way is the best way.
Memory Verse: “Lord, show me your ways. Teach me how to follow you.” Psalm 25:4
Creative Communion
Our walks with God don’t ever have to be boring! We can engage in so much more to connect
with the Lord other than just ‘doing a daily reading.’ Over three weeks we will explore examples from the Bible of how God calls us to commune with Him in creative ways and explore new possibilities for our
own intimate communion with Jesus. We read in Scripture how the Lord dramatically met people in everyday life and He is calling us to ‘come away’ and meet with Him as well.
A Bible and journal will be helpful for this class.
Financial Freedom
Financial Freedom #2 — Join us for a practical, biblical journey toward financial freedom! In this three-part series, we’ll learn how to break free from debt, build a solid foundation with an emergency fund, and
understand the habits that lead to lasting financial peace. We’ll uncover how advertising shapes our spending and discover simple ways to guard our hearts and wallets. Finally, we’ll explore the basics of wise investing and insurance, learning how to plan for the future with confidence and stewardship. Whether you’re overwhelmed or just wanting to grow, these sessions will encourage, equip, and empower you to handle money God’s way. Don’t worry if you missed Part 1. These lessons stand on their own.
Overcoming Fear
While the voice of the spirit of fear is driving our thinking processes and behaviours, it is replacing Holy Spirit in our lives and probably affecting our health in a negative way. Whether you picked fear in the womb before you were born or somewhere along your life in traumatic experiences, come be ministered to and learn how to walk in the freedom of God’s love.
Newcomers
Come meet with Pastor Bob to learn about the DNA of HCF; examine biblical examples of
people who put their faith in Jesus and how that compares to our own journey of faith.
Along the way we’ll get to know each other better and grow in our understanding of what it
means to be a follower of Jesus.
Keep Your Love On Relationship Tools
Keeping your love on is a hard thing to do. Sometimes it’s the hardest thing to do. But if you
want to build healthy relationships with God and others, learning to keep your love on is non negotiable. Adults and children, alike, thrive in healthy relationships in which it is safe to love and be loved, to know and be known. Yet for many, relationships are anything but safe, loving or intimate. They are defined by anxiety, manipulation, control and conflict. The reason is that most people have never been trained to be powerful enough to keep their love on in the face of mistakes, pain and fear.
