Common Questions

 Where do I find Harbour Light Baptist Church?

Our church's Sunday morning location is at 192 Meadow Street in Milford, and the main location is located on the Boston Post Road in Orange, behind Fedex Office.

What do I do when I get there?

Relax! We're here to serve you. If you've arrived in time for Sunday School at 10:00 a.m., our friendly greeters will meet you at the door and help direct you to the appropriate class. There are Sunday School classes available for all ages and clean professional nurseries for the infants and toddlers.

The Sunday morning services begin at 9:00 a.m. (Early Service) and 11:00 a.m. (Main Service).  Of course the nurseries are also available for the youngest ones. Sunday evening service at 6:00 p.m. is a highlight for many. There are children's services during the evening service that are prepared especially for their needs and level of understanding. Always encouraging and challenging, it is a weekly appointment you do not want to miss! There are nurseries for the evening service.

The Wednesday evening meeting starts at 7:00 p.m. and is also held in the auditorium. This refreshing time of prayer and Bible study is also coupled with a kids Bible club, Teen club and nursery service.

What's the dress code?

The truth of the matter is, there is no strict dress code for our public services! We want you to be comfortable and ready to concentrate on the message of God's Word. Many in attendance will be wearing their "Sunday best"-the men in dress shirts and dress slacks, typically with a tie, and the women in appropriate dresses.

Must I give in the offering?

No. We don't expect our guests to give an offering. Our hearts desire is to serve you and be a blessing to you as our gift for coming.

What are the services like?

Although there are many things that are wrong in this world, we believe that our God is alive and well. He is a living Saviour, and we worship Him with an attitude of victory and thankfulness! One of our choirs will open the service with an exciting and uplifting song, and then the congregation will join in singing several of the great praise and worship hymns found in the old-fashioned song book. It's not uncommon for folks to lift a hand in worship or lift an extra word of praise to God during the song service. Our Lord is worthy!

Special music is prepared by a variety of church members to enhance the services. These are also exciting songs that will encourage you and bring honor to Christ.

Prayer is a major part of the services at Harbour Light. We believe that God does everything in answer to prayer. We'll open the meeting in prayer, and many times will offer prayer for special requests of our church family during the service. If you have a specific prayer request, we'd love to share your burden.

God's Word is the answer to every problem we face. We believe that the Bible preaching is the most important part of every service. God's Word has the power to comfort, correct, instruct and fix any situation. Our preacher, Pastor Dale Schwarz, has committed his life to practicing and promoting godly living. We make no apology for preaching the truth in love.
