A Christ-Centered Body of Believers
Hardin Valley Church is a Christ-centered body of believers seeking to become more like Jesus. We have an expressed desire to be a church that faithfully embodies all that our Savior wants in his church, a family of Christians. We seek God by being a Christ–centered, Spirit–filled, and grace–motivated family helping one another grow to be spiritually mature in Christ. We increase our faith in Jesus by service to our community, and a focus on prayer, worship and Bible study. The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ form the core of our belief, our mission and our message. We use the Bible as our only guide of faith and practice, desiring to be one with all Christians.

Our Vision
Be a loving family that grows disciple makers who share Jesus with everyone.

Our Mission

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.
Our Story
Hardin Valley was established in May of 2006 and was known as the Parkway Church of Christ during its first year. Approximately 160 people gathered together at the first service to begin a new congregation serving the needs of West Knoxville. The church now owns 15 acres with a facility containing a 600-seat auditorium in the heart of the Hardin Valley community. Attendance has steadily grown to the point where there are now two services.
