Christian Education
The Christian Education Department encompasses many facets of our ministry here at Harrison Community Baptist Church.
Our Sunday school program offers weekly biblical teaching to all age groups. Also available on Sundays are volunteer nursery workers for preschool children and children's messages three weeks each month during the morning service.
Sunday evenings we offer an assortment of adult bible studies.
Our weekly teen program is a great outreach to community youth as well as our ownyouth, offering dinner, fun and games and sound biblical teaching.
Another area of our outreach ministry is our Children's programming, HIS KIDS. The team meets at the school on Wednesdays, providing after school activities for elementary students. We also provide a community Vacation Bible School each summer.
Fellowship & Outreach
Fellowship and Outreach promotes the building of relationships between the Church, the community and God through planned social events.
Throughout the year we have different events to promote fellowship within our church body. Chicken Foot Tournament, Lunch with a Bunch, and Progressive Dinners are a few activities the church family participates in and has a lot of fun.
As an Outreach to the community we have our annual Easter breakfast which is prepared by the men of the church before the Worship Service. We also have a booth in the park for the annual Harvest Festival. This is focused towards families, and we provide games and activities for the kids.
The second Sunday of each month there is a Potluck after the Sunday worship service. Everyone is encouraged to come. This is a good time for the Church family and visitors to come together.
Missions and Ministry Committee
Our committee is composed of 5 adults and one teen member who meet regularly to assess mission needs and projects and make mission recommendations to our leadership committee and the congregation. We keep everyone informed of mission activities and lead in organizing projects.
Our church is a mission-minded church. We give regularly (monthly) to the Cooperative Program and Inland Empire Baptist Association. We also participate in Southern Baptist Convention's three main offerings and weeks of prayer for International Missions (Lottie Moon Christmas Offering), North American Missions (Annie Armstrong Easter Offering) and State Missions (Sylvia Wilson Northwest Baptist Offering). In addition, we support five missionary families who are not connected to SBC including Faith Christian Missions, Mission Aviation Fellowship, New Tribes Mission, Hard Hats for Christ, and Campus Crusade for Christ. The families represented here are serving in both foreign and homeland ministries. We participate in Franklin Graham's Samaritan Purse Operation Christmas Child Project. We also have sent teams of adults and teens to areas within our country and overseas to engage in evangelistic and construction work. We have recently joined the Adopt-a-Church project for churches who received extreme damage from Hurricane Katrina. We will be helping our assigned church with operating funds and construction.
Our women are involved in missions through the Ladies' Visionary Missionary Society which meets once a month and is the equivalent of the Southern Baptist WMU. In addition to providing financial support to missionaries, LVMS also donates dollars for special mission projects, church maintenance projects, gifts for high school graduates, and layettes for new mothers. The ladies also do hands-on projects such as recovering bed pads for Hospice and conducting funeral dinners.
Worship
Our worship team's goal is to consistently facilitate the congregation in feeling God's presence through music, scripture readings and special music. The goal of the worship committee continues to be making the worship experience meaningful and bringing worshipers into a closer, personal encounter with our Lord.
We plan and oversee weekly and monthly services, services at special times of the year and holidays, special musicians and much more. We try to strike a balance of contemporary music with favorite hymns to help bridge our older and younger generations.
