Empowered by His Spirit, God enables us to be imitators of Christ in our community and bring glory to Him. As Christ's ambassadors, we are active in the things that matter to God; love, mercy, justice, assisting those in need and proclaiming God's love and salvation through His Son Jesus Christ to all mankind.
As Christians, we place our faith in God and know that it is by His grace that we are saved. It is because of this that we have a passion for doing His good works on this earth. While our works in no way contribute to our salvation, our deeds and obedience to God's Word are a reflection of our heart and demonstrate our genuine faith and devotion to Him. Romans 11:6 , James 2:14-26 , 1 John 5:2-5 As Christians, we are called to good works and to be both salt and light in the world. Ephesians 2:8-10 , Matthew 5:13-16
Ministries at Hardin Valley are grouped into the below broad ministry areas. For each grouping (e.g., Education), there are ministries and a coordinating deacon working under the oversight of primary and secondary contact Elders. For each ministry, there is a Deacon or ministry leader (men and women that have specific desires and skills for particular efforts and typically are identified with a particular deacon under a given area of work) overseeing that work. The coordinating Deacons facilitate and coordinate work across ministries within the group and collectively across all ministries making sure that all ministries are well-coordinated and are not duplicating efforts or missing opportunities.
