The Mission
The mission of Wayne Hills Baptist is the same mission Jesus gave his followers: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
The Vision
The vision of Wayne Hills is to Reach the Valley by Growing True Disciples of Jesus who will Go into the World and Make an Impact for Christ. (Matt. 28:19-20)
Wayne Hills Baptist Church has been preaching the Gospel in the Shenandoah Valley for over 60 years. It is our passion to see men, women, and children of all ages come to faith in Jesus Christ and grow into mature disciples. We are convinced this is accomplished through the faithful proclamation of God's Word, Christ-centered discipleship, and Spirit-empowered community.
Whether you are a first-time visitor, regular attender, or long-time church member, you will find a loving family who passionately loves Jesus and others. Join in on the Spirit's work here at Wayne Hills as we CONNECT to God in worship, GROW in our walk together with Christ, SERVE one another in ministry, and GO into the world to make disciples.

Dress tends to vary from person to person and you are likely to find anything from jeans to suits, from sneakers to dress shoes.

how we worship
SUNDAY GROUPS
Our Sunday Groups begin at 9:30am, and meets in classrooms throughout our campus. There are groups available for all ages--Newborns to Senior Adult. Our groups serve as a place where each person can learn from God's Word in an enjoyable and age-appropriate way.
WORSHIP SERVICE
Our worship service begins at 10:45am. We typically begin with a Call to Worship, led by our Praise Team, and continue with an Opening Prayer, followed by the singing of several songs, offering prayers of praise and confession to God, giving our offerings, and the proclamation of God's Word in preaching.
MUSIC
The music we sing at Wayne Hills Baptist Church is a blend of old and new. At any given worship services, you will hear hymns alongside praise choruses. Placing an emphasis on content above style, the song selections will be intentionally Christ-centered. Over and above any one instrument or group of instruments, we are convinced that the gathered body, raising their voices in praise to God, is the most powerful instrument in the church.
SERMON
Preaching at Wayne Hills Baptist Church is primarily expository, meaning that it seeks to declare the point of a particular Bible passage. Sermons typically last 35-40 minutes, and the goal of every sermon is to present the truth of God's Word as accurately as possible so that it can be applied to everyday life. At WHBC, you will receive a steady diet of Old and New Testament study, as both are necessary for God's people to grow spiritually healthy. All preaching is Gospel-driven and Christ-centered.
POST-SERMON
Following the sermon, there is an opportunity to respond to the message, as the Lord leads. Typically our pastors are available to offer counseling and prayer as needed. Once the service has been dismissed, many take the time to fellowship--this is a great opportunity to edify, encourage, and minister to one another.
