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.
