Today's Verse [Jesus said,] "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Daily Wisdom Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

Hardin Valley Church of Christ (formerly known as Parkway Church of Christ) was
formed in the spring of 2006. We are a new congregation of the Church of Christ
and we meet in the Hardin Valley area of West Knoxville, TN. You will find our
worship services very loving and uplifting!!
Through prayer, faith and action, we demonstrate Christ to one another, our community
and the world, bringing souls to salvation and maturity in Christ to the glory
of God.
The Hardin Valley Church of Christ desires to be a church that faithfully embodies
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,
and encourages one another. We desire to glorify God by working in the community,
proclaiming the Good News, and making disciples. We seek God by being a Christ-centered,
Spirit-filled, and grace-motivated family dedicated to helping believers become
spiritually mature in Christ.
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.
We value the wonder and power of life-changing prayer and the importance of congregational
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. We also recognize our responsibilities for caring and assisting
those in need.
