WHAT TO EXPECT
WHERE DO YOU MEET?
We meet every Sunday at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM at 819 Olympia Ave NE. which is on the corner of East Bay Drive and Olympia Ave. You can also find us on the map at the bottom of this page.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
We keep things pretty casual at Harbor Church. You might find that some folks dress up a little bit for Sunday, but many other show up in jeans and a sweatshirt. We want you to be comfortable and at home at Harbor Church and we’d rather your heart, and not your clothing, make a statement about who you are.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
During our worship gatherings we have a ministry designed for children from birth up through fifth grade in our dedicated space on the bottom floor of the church building. You can enter the Harbor Kids area directly from the main parking lot and check them in before one of our gatherings to enjoy playing, singing, and learning about Jesus in a kid-friendly environment with teachers who love to engage our kids with the love of Jesus.
WHAT ARE THE GATHERINGS LIKE?
Every Sunday, at both 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM, we gather together from all around the South Sound region to worship God through singing, giving, listening to the preached Word of God, responding in repentance and faith, and being sent out to share the good news about Jesus Christ in every area and aspect of life.
SINGING
Psalm 66:1 says, “Shout for joy to God, all the Earth; sing the glory of His name; give to Him glorious praise!” This is why we begin our time of corporate worship with singing. We love to give glory to God by richly singing the Word of Christ, being reminded of the profound truths of the scriptures and the beauty of the gospel.
GIVING
If you are a guest of ours, please know that there is no expectation for you to give. Our worshipful act of giving is for the gathered church family and is something we do regularly, sacrificially, and cheerfully as we show that God is our greatest treasure.
PREACHING
Biblical exposition is at the heart of the preaching ministry at Harbor Church and is central to the Sunday worship gathering. We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God. Whether working through a book of the Bible verse by verse, or teaching on a particular topic, our sermons are rooted and grounded in the message of the scriptures and always point to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Sermons are typically 40 to 50 minutes in length are are recorded and distributed on our website weekly.
RESPONDING
Each week we celebrate the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper by partaking of communion. We remember Jesus body broken and blood shed in our place for our sins. We practice intinction, where we dip the bread in the juice and eat. If you are a fellow believer in Jesus Christ, united with Him in His death and raised with Him in newness of life, we would love for you to celebrate the remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice with us.
SENDING
Our response to the gospel doesn’t end when our gatherings close. In reality, that is only the beginning as we are sent out to fellowship with one another and share the message of the gospel with our family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.
Immediately after our gatherings we’ll share some snacks and have time to meet a new friend in our commons space. We have a team of volunteers who would love answer your questions and get you connected to the life of Harbor Church.
