Our Mission & Vision
The mission of Handsboro Baptist Church is to love God, to love others, and to magnify the name of Jesus Christ. The vision of our church is to glorify our God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to make true disciples throughout all the nations by means of missionary activity and support, to minister the ordinances, to edify believers, and to do all that is sovereignty possible and biblical permissible to magnify the name of Jesus.
We adopted the following Purpose Statement, On 11 May 2005 just three months prior to Hurricane Katrina's arrival on the Mississippi Coast, We have struggled with many challenges since that time but we remain committed to our purpose.
“We seek to be Intentional Christians, Touching the Coast for Christ, under the leadership of the Holy Spirit; to fulfill Christ's call to bring people to our Lord and Savior, to baptize, to disciple the Saints, to worship, to fellowship, and to support missions throughout the world.”
With our Pastor, Dr. Joey Bennett, our Worship Leader(s), our church leaders and our members we are still dedicated to finding ways to "Touch The Coast For Christ"
