We here are Harmony Baptist
Church desire to have one thing in common with all of the ministries
we offer. We desire to have Jesus Christ to be first and foremost in
everything we do. It may be the choir singing, or the youth group
going on an activity we want Christ to be lifted up. It is important
for us to be a part of a local, Bible-believing, Baptist church. It
is equally important that we are involved in that church.
Acts 1:17 “For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of
this ministry.”
Music
We are commanded in the scriptures to praise and sing unto the Lord.
We want to have music that is Christ honoring, not just popular or
what people want to hear. Music is a gift from God for us to use to
worship him. We are blessed to have people who love to sing of the
wonders of God! We are able to lift Him up in song and worship.
Praise the Lord for a choir who sings music that lifts up the name
of the Lord. We have a number of folks who sing special music that
really challenges our hearts at we prepare for the preaching of His
word.
Psalm 149:1 “Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the
Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.”
In Matthew 19:28 Jesus commands us to go into all the world and
preach the gospel. The members of Harmony Baptist Church do that
through weekly missions giving. One of the highlights of our year is
our annual Missions Conference where our hearts are stirred with the
responsibility of evangelizing the world. We currently support more
than 35 missionaries and are always attempting to either add more
missionaries or increase our current missionaries monthly support.
Children
Praise the Lord for the blessing of children! They are truly a
blessing and gift from the Lord. Bob Battko has been leading our
children’s church for years. It is our desire to encourage the
truths and fundamentals of God’s word in this time. The singing and
Bible time is geared for children. We want our children to love God
and love worshipping Him. We want our children to understand what it
means to love Him and serve Him. We attempt to make this service a
time when we can teach the children in these areas.
On Wednesday nights our children meet in their classes to learn
Bible verses and stories that will encourage their grasp of the
Bible.
We have wonderful teachers who love children and the Lord. We know
that children are impressionable. That is the reason we seek to
impress God’s word on their hearts with such a strong emphasis.
Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he
should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Nursery
The nursery is so vital in order for parents to be able to sit in
church with the assurance of mind that their infants are being cared
for properly. The staff of caring people and warmth to love
your children will reassure you as they enjoy their time playing in
the nursery. We have a nursery area that is well kept and prepared
with toys and all the necessary baby things to be comfortable.
Psalm 127:3 “Lo, children are an heritage of the
Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
Every Sunday morning at 10:00 am our teenagers and adults are
involved in a Bible study, while children are in their Sunday school
classes. These are not dry, dull times where you rehash everything
you have always known about the Bible, but exciting times of
learning, applying and fellowship. Our children’s Sunday school
classes are geared for their age level with age appropriate lessons.
For the adults we have a Men's Class taught by Pastor Darnell and a
Ladies Class taught by Mrs. Darnell.
Acts17:11 "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in
that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched
the scriptures daily, whether those things were so."
