At Harrison Church we encourage people to Worship + 2. What is Worship + 2?
It is about you! It is our invitation for you to put yourself where God can touch your heart:
WORSHIP with us on Sundays.
SERVICE: The Bible tells us that “each one should use the gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms” (1 Peter 4:10). Select one of the many options offered by the ministries at Harrison and grow by being a blessing to others.
STUDY: Grow spiritually by being a part of one of the study groups or life groups that are made available through our Spiritual Growth ministry. The Bible instructs us to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2). “If you make my word your home you will indeed be my disciples” (John 8:31).
