The first two core values at Harvard Avenue Christian Church are ‘BE LOVED’ and ‘BELIEVE’. When we are welcomed into community, from wherever we’ve been and wherever we are, we can then find our way to a life of worship, study, prayer and fellowship where we can explore what we believe, and discover how it transforms our daily living.
