The nursery ministry at Hampstead Baptist Church offers a loving, safe, nurturing environment designed to care for the youngest of the congregation-- members and guests.  It's a place where infants and toddlers can be entrusted, allowing their parents to participate in church activities and services with peace-of-mind, knowing their children are well-cared-for in a spiritually nurturing environment.  Our experienced volunteers create a welcoming space with age-appropriate toys, books, and activities that foster the children's development. It's not just about babysitting; it's about creating an atmosphere where children feel valued and where their early experiences with the church community are positive and enriching.

The "Bananas for Jesus" class is legendary for its famed Chiquita Bananas stickers for all its participants (and the special PINS for those with benchmarks made).  As "bananas" as it may seem, the class (younger and older) is endeared and excited about it.  Ms. Cindy has a knack for storytelling and connecting with people of all ages, especially teenagers and pre-teens.  This class follows The Gospel Project for Students curriculum, studying Genesis-Revelation on a holistic level, from start to finish.

The "Upper Room" is above the sanctuary, with the entrance to the left of the baptistry.

This class follows The Gospel Project: Chronological (for Adults).  It is a three-year cycle that covers the entire Bible from Genesis through Revelation.  Though there are other Sunday School classes who cover this same material, this class is co-ed and has adults who most might consider "middle adults" (i.e. not young marrieds or senior adults, but somewhere in between), for those seeking to study the Bible among that demographic.

The preschool and nursery classes sometimes overlap, as flexibility is sometimes necessary for the best experience of those involved.  Ms. Lea uses The Gospel Project for Preschool for the preschoolers' class.

This class follows The Gospel Project: Chronological (for Adults).  It is a three-year cycle that covers the entire Bible from Genesis through Revelation.  Though there are other Sunday School classes who cover this same material, this class is comprised of primarily senior adults, for those seeking to study the Bible among that demographic.

The adult men's class engages in verse-by-verse exposition, journeying through entire books of the Bible with a keen focus on understanding each verse in its rich, historical context. Participants dive deep into the historical contexts of the passages, and explore how each verse weaves into the broader story of Scripture. Studies often extend into topical discussions, specifically tailored to be relevant to men's lives and challenges. This class isn't intended to just about learning; it's about fellowship and prayer, and creating a strong brotherhood rooted in Christ. Whether new to or experienced in Bible study, this class offers a unique opportunity to deepen your understanding and connect with other men on a similar spiritual journey.

"Showing Kids the Big Picture of God's Story" in all our kids' classes.  The Gospel Project for Kids immerses kids and preschoolers in the gospel through every story, theological concept, and call to mission from Genesis to Revelation. Kids and preschoolers will understand the Bible is not just a collection of stories, but one unified story—God’s story of redemption.
