The library is open
whenever the church is open and members and friends are
encouraged to come and browse.
The library's growing collection of Christian fiction
provides leisure-reading opportunities for adults and
children. Parents, young people, teachers, youth leaders,
couples, singles, people going through difficult times or
happy times can find encouragement, insight, and help for
personal or ministry needs in the large non-fiction section.
Videos offer entertainment or education to kids and
grown-ups. The church library is an important resource for
all ages.
Mission Statement:
The HCC Library is to be a teaching tool, important to study
for the individual, the class, and the congregation. The
library can support the mission of the church as well as the
growth of individual members' faith.
