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.

How to Share Your Faith
Imagine you’re on a plane and someone hands you a parachute. If I tell you it’ll make your flight comfier, you’ll likely ditch it when the flight gets bumpy, right? But if I tell you the plane’s going down and you’ll need that parachute to survive – you’ll hang onto it for dear life! The real message people need to hear is this: we’ve all broken God’s rules (ever told a lie? stolen something? had lustful thoughts?), so we’re all in big trouble. Here is the Good News (the Best News ever) Jesus stepped in to take the punishment we deserve.
Come on a journey that will increase your heart for the lost, equip you to share your faith in everyday circumstances and increase your fruitfulness. Will you let God work through you to expand His Kingdom?
