Finding us:

Hardy Street Baptist Church

1508 Hardy St.

Hattiesburg, MS 39401

We are located right next to the Hattiesburg Zoo. In fact, the easiest way to access our parking lot is by turning from Hardy Street onto 17th Ave. between the church and the zoo. Our parking lot will be on your left.

Once you’ve parked, you will enter the church directly below the “Welcome Center” sign (see the picture below). Inside you will be greeted by members of our First Impressions Team who will help you choose a Small Group class to attend or direct you to the Sanctuary if arriving for Worship Service. If you have children, our greeters will guide you to the children’s area and assist you with the check-in process.

What should I wear?

We want you to feel comfortable. For some people that may mean jeans and a t-shirt and for others they may prefer business casual or a suit and tie.

Will I be expected to speak or be singled out in any way?

Absolutely not! Although you are welcome to participate in Small Group discussions and sing during Worship Service, you will certainly not be pressured. 

What should I expect during a Worship Service?

Worship services begin with 20-30 minutes of music, followed by a Bible-based message of 30-45 minutes that is intended to encourage and promote growth no matter where you are currently in your spiritual journey.

Typically, children in 3rd grade or higher attend regular Worship Service with their parents. During the months of June and July, we have Big Church University where children in kindergarten and up attend regular Worship Service. Preschoolers always remain in our preschool area under the care of our excellent, trained Children’s Ministry workers during Worship Service.
