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!

Learn more and register at harriscreek.org/events.

We invite young adults in their 20s and 30s to come connect with others from around the country and get ready to have some interactive fun with JP, Kathy, and Nate. We’ll be worshipping together and recording live Becoming Something podcast episodes. Rally your crew and make your plans to join us!

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

MEREDITH MIARS | WOMEN AND COMMUNITY

My name is Meredith Miars, and I returned to staff in August 2022. Previously, I served on our Kids team for 4 years, but now I have the joy to serve on our Women and Community team, overseeing all women’s ministries and women’s community. My husband Chris and our 4 daughters have been members of Harris Creek since 2007, this place has been like a family to us. I am passionate about God’s word, discipleship, the local church and helping others know and follow Jesus. Some of my favorite ways to spend my time are long talks with friends, games and movies with my family, vacationing to a fun place, or just spending time on my back porch.
