Prevailing Question
“How will God be known - in us, among us, and through us?
Harford Community Church, begun in October of 1989, accepted the challenge that God was raising their vision for a new kind of church. After launching in a school cafeteria, we moved to a former small college campus and eventually bought the building we use for ministry today in 2015. We are committed to doing whatever we can to create a safe place where people can search out a relationship with God at their own pace, without pressure or condemnation. We put together an upbeat worship service with variety, including multimedia, video clips, contemporary music, and other interesting and inspiring elements, so we can communicate the truth of God in relevant, creative, intelligent, and personal ways that touch the head, heart and soul.
