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.

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

hannah henderson | administration

Hi! My name is Hannah Henderson. I moved to Waco about four and a half years ago to jump into what God was doing at Harris Creek, and I have LOVED my time here! Life (and my last name) has changed in the best way since then! One of the greatest joys of being on staff is getting a front-row seat to see how God is moving—not just at Harris Creek, but in my own life as well. The past few years have been such a season of growth, and I’m so grateful for the ways He’s stretched and shaped me along the way. When I’m not at Harris Creek, you can probably find me playing pickleball with my husband, Justin, going on walks (probably my favorite thing—whether with friends or solo, just soaking in some quiet), baking something fun, or grabbing coffee with friends.
