what our Savior wants in His church by bringing glory and honor to Him in all
that we do. We seek to be a family of Christians who loves, cares for, edifies,

The Hardin Valley Church of Christ desires to equip Christ-followers and Christian leaders for generations to come through an intentional focus on prayer, the study of scripture, and the spiritual development of each individual’s faith. The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ form the core of our belief, our mission and our message. We are a New Testament church using the Bible as our only guide of faith and practice, desiring to be one with all Christians.
OUR VALUES

worship that encourages, instructs, and blesses the worshipers while praising
and honoring God. We also value the differences among us and are committed to
patiently cooperating with one another in love and understanding, recognizing
each other’s freedom in Christ.
We value the separate and distinct spiritual gifts that we use for the benefit of Christ’s church and mutual edification of its members. We value Christ-centered families and individuals, as well as the dynamic contributions of our youth and the wisdom of age.
