We desire
that all we do be done for the glory of God. As we move
deeper in Christ and further in mission, we envision
Harbor Covenant Church nourished by a living communion
with Christ, giving rise to an authentic community
engaged in an epic commission.
 Communion
We envision a people nourished by their ever-deepening,
living communion with God.
As the water
of a rushing river gives life to its surroundings, we
are given life through our encounter with God revealed
in Jesus Christ by means of the Holy Spirit.
"As you come
to him, the living Stone ... you also, like living
stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a
holy priesthood." I Peter 2: 4,5
 Community
We envision a people who care deeply about one another
in authentic community
Like an
exquisite Pacific Northwest forest, we are an ecosystem
with a God-designed need for interdependence.
"Once we were
not a people, now we are the people of God..." I
Peter 2: 10
 Commission
We
envision a people following with abandon the risky
calling of Jesus, in response to God's epic commission.
As mighty Mt.
Rainier beckons climbers to its summit, we are beckoned
to the ultimate adventure of loving God and loving
others.
In the great
commandment, God calls us to the adventure of loving God
with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all
our strength. In the great commission, God calls us to
the adventure of inviting and equipping others in our
community and in the world to become devoted, growing
followers of Jesus Christ.
"You shall
love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all
your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your
strength." Mark 12:30
"Go therefore
and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have
commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to
the end of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20
