God has richly blessed us with various musical abilities and gifts in our church. Music ministry takes place in various forms including our Worship Teams and several individuals who share their gift of music with us at Harmony. In our worship services we incorporate these various musical styles by blending both traditional and contemporary hymns and choruses together. Worship Teams minister each Sunday in our morning worship service. “Special Music Ministry” is shared by several individuals as part of our Morning Worship Services. Occasionally, special music nights are arranged by our Music Committee to bring in Christian musicians/bands as part of our music ministry at Harmony.
Harmony is gifted with those who deeply desire to pray with God “for all things at all times”. Each Sunday our services are bathed in prayer including a time of pre-service prayer. Email and telephone prayer chains identify specific needs that occur each day for which people would like others to pray. A time of prayer in response to God’s leading is available each Sunday following the service. A prayer box in the foyer is available to all to let their prayer needs be known throughout the week and are included in the Ministry of Prayer during our services. An open Prayer Group meets each Thursday Morning at 9:30am in our sanctuary to pray to God for all our personal, corporate and global needs.

Under the leadership of our Associate Pastor and volunteer team, our youth ministry vision is to Build, Equip and Win young people for Jesus Christ. Our Junior & Senior High Youth gather on alternating Friday evenings to serve God, have fun, share faith, and enjoy fellowship with each other. Our High School youth have learned how to serve God globally on Compassion Experiences to the Dominican Republic and both groups have learned how to serve God locally through creative service opportunities in our neighbourhood. Also, each week youth gather Wednesday night at Faith Builders to pray, study and discuss God’s Word as it applies to our lives. On Sundays, our Sunday School program helps to meet the needs of youth and children of all ages.
Our Young Adult ministry is growing as Young Adults are active in serving at HRBC in leadership and worship ministry, Campus Ministries of OTU/Durham College, globally with Compassion Experiences to the Dominican Republic and locally with partnerships with The Refuge.
