Our Purpose

Hampton Roads Fellowship exists to display the character of God, through the people of God, for the glory of God.

THE CHARACTER OF GOD

God’s purpose for the church has always been to display His character not just through individuals, but also through a corporate body. The world should be able to look at the church and see what God’s character is like (Eph 3:10-11). How we love and treat one another as the church displays something about what we believe about God’s character (1 John 4:7-8).

THE PEOPLE OF GOD

God's character is so glorious and diverse that it could not be displayed perfectly through any one people group. Therefore, God created many different ethnic groups, all for the purpose of displaying His glory in beautiful and unique ways (Rev. 5:9; 7:9; 10:11; 11:9; 13:7; 14:6; 17:15).

THE GLORY OF GOD

The church is God’s vehicle for displaying His glory to His creation. God’s eternal plan has always been to display his glory not just through individuals but through a corporate body. The church exists primarily for God to display His glory (1 Cor 10:31).
