Harmony Springs Christian Church is a collective of innovators who take little for granted—not buildings, particular beliefs, governance or worship.
Harmony Springs Christian Church is a collective of creative and innovative Christians who take little for granted—not buildings, particular beliefs, governance structures, worship, or leadership models. Our mission is to be a welcoming & progressive community of faith, seeking harmony in a world of dissonance—seeking spiritual moments of transformation through worship, reflection, and service to the community.
We are rooted in the Disciples of Christ, which is a Christian movement for unity, inclusion and wholeness. Grounded in these traditions, we seek to intentionally welcome, support and affirm individuals seeking spiritual growth, while recognizing and celebrating who they are—their beliefs, age, gender, struggles, race, sexuality, and abilities.
Our faith arises out of the belief that God is love, that God calls us to love one another, and that Jesus is the primary way that we as Christians understand what it means to love. Like all Christian faith communities, we too arise out of a rich and complex 2,000 year-old Church history. This history is full of meaningful spiritual disciplines, deep theological concepts, and diverse ecclesial (church) models, along with many tragic shortcomings. We seek not to ignore this tradition, but to be rooted in it, to learn from its mistakes and to grow from the wisdom and truths found within it.
We seek to be a community of faith that is innovative and flexible--one that is both challenging and inviting to those who don’t necessarily identify themselves as Christians. We continue to go about discovering how to be Christian in an age of social media, globalization, and political instability. We pick up where Christ left off—with seeking wholeness in a fragmented world, pushing back against empire, embracing the marginalized, seeking health and healing for those in need, and forming community with friends and strangers.
