Worship Ministry Area
The Worship Ministry teams exist to ensure that Hardin Valley’s founding values are honored and applied to the congregation’s corporate worship life. Its primary focus is the planning, facilitation, and support of activities for congregational worship and encouragement. Additionally, the group works to involve as many members of the Hardin Valley family as possible in carrying out worship activities, utilizing the abundant gifts and talents that God has so richly blessed us with.

Church & Family Life Ministry Area

Involvement Ministry: The purpose of Involvement ministry is to help lead both new and mature Christians into meaningful relationships and ministries at the Hardin Valley Church of Christ guided by their individual interests and spiritual gifts. When an individual or family joins the congregation, the Involvement ministry seeks to engage them in some capacity in the work of the church by requesting completion of an Involvement survey that matches their talents and interests with the needs and opportunities available in new or ongoing ministry activities.

Membership Ministry: The primary purpose of the membership ministry is help new members get connected (through new member handbooks) and existing members stay connected (through picture and address directories and perhaps a Family Picture Board) with each other and to various ministries. We maintain a membership database that contains personal information for each family and individual , (names, addresses, pictures and involvement preferences, etc.). We partner with the Involvement Ministry by keeping a record of member involvement preferences and dispense that information as new members join our fellowship and as requested from various ministry leaders. We also share responsibility with the Internet Ministry to maintain the Online Church Directory.

Fellowship Ministry: The Fellowship Ministry encourages church bonding through family-wide social and spiritual activities, such as fellowship meals and a fall retreat, as well as community engagement through various public activities that demonstrate the values of Hardin Valley church of Christ.

Fifty-five Plus Ministry: The 55+ Ministry exists to strengthen and enhance the spiritual lives and bonds of friendship between its members and with other groups throughout the body. We hold monthly events that are primarily social in nature and, as such, self-funded.

Men's Ministry Ministry: The Men’s Ministry provides opportunities for the men of the church to develop richer relationships while serving God and growing in his name. Events will include spiritual activities such as prayer meetings, prayer breakfasts and an annual retreat, plus social events such as an annual golf outing.

Women’s Ministry Ministry: The purpose of the Sisters in Service women's ministry of Hardin Valley Church of Christ is to encourage the women of the church to become more like Christ through sound Bible teaching, service and connection. Our committees provide two Bible classes, the food and visitation ministries, outreach during bereavement, showers for weddings and babies, outreach through Hardin Valley Elementary such as the Christmas and Thanksgiving baskets, outreach to the staff at the school in the form of events twice a year to honor them, the women's retreat, mothers of preschoolers group, and mentoring for the teen girls. Other opportunities are offered to us as needs arise such as helping with the Easter egg hunt, etc.

Member Services Ministry: Member Services coordinates opportunities for Hardin Valley members to actively serve one another. By utilizing member resources, talents, skills and time to perform and assist in various congregational needs, members can serve others in areas such as yard work, minor household repairs, helping members move etc. Growing spiritually by serving others within the Hardin Valley Church of Christ is the goal of Member Services.

Young Professionals Ministry: The Young Professionals ministry exists to provide an environment where post-college singles and married young adults can explore God’s word and grow spiritually by sharing our common love for God and living a life inspired by Christ. We accomplish this through activities which include bible classes, small group devotionals, and special events. It is our desire to share our lives and build relationships with one another and other groups in the church while equipping individuals to reach the lost by building a solid biblical foundation and fostering an attitude of personal service to others.

College Ministry: The College Ministry seeks to involve all Hardin Valley members and guests of college age in a Sunday school class of their peers and to build relationships through small group and special activities. The goal of this Ministry is to maintain participation and engagement and enhance the foundation of faith during these transforming years.

Facilities Ministry Area


Youth Ministry Area
The mission of the Hardin Valley youth ministry is to aid our families in ensuring that our teens grow spiritually to the full measure of Jesus Christ; encouraging them to share their hope in Christ with as many of their friends as possible.

Through discussion and prayer, the youth minister and the deacons over HS Education, MS Education, and Elementary Education developed a curriculum that meets the spiritual growth and development needs of our children and teens at their respective stages in life. These goals are outlined in "HVCoC Youth Ministry Goals and Near-term Plans".

Missions & Outreach Ministry Area
Local Outreach: The Mission of the Local Outreach Ministry is to:
• promote the mindset of 'every member evangelism' in the Hardin Valley church,
• equip all the “Saints” to use their own spiritual gifts for outreach, and
• coordinate Outreach opportunities for all church activities, so that the entire church may help seek and save the lost and help them finish the race.

Missions: The purpose of the Hardin Valley Church of Christ Missions Ministry is to assist others in reaching and saving the lost outside of our church while offering opportunities for our members to be involved in mission opportunities that can be an encouragement to them in their journey to become closer to God.

Benevolence: Based on Acts 2:42-47 and Matthew 25:31-46, the benevolence ministry is dedicated to using the many blessings with which God has blessed our congregation to assist both members and those in our community in times of need. We seek to glorify God by showing His love through our actions to help others.

Service: The purpose of the service ministry is to provide assistance for the members of Hardin Valley Church of Christ that have needs due to hardship. This assistance is primarily in the form of providing for physical needs such as food, house or car repair.

Operations & Support Services Ministry Area

Finance Ministry: The finance ministry team serves in stewardship / trusteeship roles in support of the mission of the church. The ministry has the fiduciary responsibility to manage the financial aspects of the church, including overseeing the receipts and disbursements, preparation of financial reports, managing church investments and insurance, assisting in the development and monitoring of the church’s budget, providing for review of books and records, and providing financial guidance and reports to the elders and the congregation. In addition, the Ministry manages all vendor and banking relationships.

The ministry also assists the elders in matters pertaining to and in support of the church’s professional and office ministry staff.

Internet Ministry: The goal of the internet ministry is to maintain an internet web and email presence for HVCOC. Email lists are maintained for various leadership and functional groups. For the web presence, the website is split into a public area and a private members area. The public area is intended to convey the HV hospitality to the community and the world. The private area is for more confidential items such as the Connection archives, prayer list, leader contact information, etc. The goal of the internet ministry in this area is to provide a public area for HVCOC information and also to provide any resources to other ministry areas for their internet needs.

Communications: The goal of the communications ministry is to effectively convey information concerning the Hardin Valley Church of Christ family to both members and visitors so we can draw closer to our Lord and each other. Our primary form of communication is electronic (via the Internet). Also we support other ministries as a central source for e-mail alerts and printed material.

Sound and Lighting: This ministry team arranges sound and lighting equipment; coordinating budgets, rentals, and purchases for worship services and events. It also coordinates operators for worship services and events, advises different leaders and committees on sound and lighting, and provides budgets on sound and lighting products and/or companies that provide these products.

Production: At present this ministry involves coordinating all aspects of worship service with the song leaders, speakers, guest speakers and any 'special' part of the worship services that differs from the norm. This requires preparing material that will be projected onto the screen as well as coordinating with the Sound crew. This area of ministry will also include special events taking place in our permanent facilities, once they are completed, that involve multimedia needs and coordination. For the sake of continuity and having standards in different environments, involvement in this ministry is limited until activities take place in a permanent facility.

Photography: The purpose of this ministry is to document HV events, activities, and its members through pictures which are used for enhancing publications, sharing with members and for historical archives (stored in digital form and also on the website). Many HV members participate in this ministry by sharing their pictures of events and activities.
