More than roommates marriage conference

january 31 - february 1, 2025 | HARRIS CREEK

Marriage is like a good song—when you like the melody, the beat, the way the voices and instruments work together, you want to hear that song over and over again. But when the notes clash and the instruments are out of tune, you remove that song from your playlist. This year at the More Than Roommates Marriage Conference, we want to help you make beautiful music together in your marriage. So warm up your vocal chords, come ready for a tune up, and join us for teaching, breakouts, worship, and a whole lot of fun!

be a breakfast hero! | Individuals & life groups

Many Sundays throughout the year our Creative Teams put in 8-10 hours on a Sunday serving the Church and many arrive at 6:30a! We want to bless them with a hot breakfast while they serve! If you or your Life Group would be willing to provide breakfast right before the 9a service begins, you’d be a hero!

staff spotlight

kathy davidson | sisterhood

My name is Kathy Davidson and I oversee Sisterhood, our women’s ministry. I grew up in Fort Worth, Texas and went to college at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. After graduation in 2011, I moved to Waco to attend Truett Seminary. While at Truett, I needed an internship for a class and so I started working in the Youth Ministry at Harris Creek.. and I never left. I spent the next 9 years on staff at Harris Creek working with our Youth and College ministries. The past 1.5 years I stayed home with our four kids (Judah, Joel, Jack, and Grace), but recently stepped back on staff for my dream job overseeing Sisterhood. My husband Matt and I have been married for 12.5 years and love getting to work at Harris Creek together! The thing that most excites me right now is how God is developing a culture of prayer within Sisterhood- come ask me about it!
