The goal of the women's ministry at HPBC is to encourage women in every season of life, to develop and maintain a vital relationship with Jesus Christ through the study of His Word, to provide opportunities to build friendships with other women, and to train and equip women for outreach and service to others. In an attempt to accomplish these purposes, we offer a variety of studies and events for women of all ages.
