As a whole, the care ministries at Harmony Church exist to help support the deeper spiritual and emotional needs of Harmony attendees, like:
Life Groups
At Harmony we believe that care is best done in community. Although there are times when professional help is needed the first people to be there during a time of crisis should be the community of friends you have at church. We believe God created us to live in relationship with others and only then can we live the full life He intends for us.
Sharing life through community is part of our design, and the best way to be cared for is jumping into the community and building lifelong relationships.
Prayer
At Harmony, we believe that prayer is a powerful and a primary means through which God’s creative and supernatural power impacts our lives. Are you wanting prayer support? We’d love to join you in your requests!
You can be as specific or vague as you’d like – but know that our prayer team keeps everything confidential and they love to pray for people in faith knowing the Lord will guide you and give you peace in your current situation.
Compassion Fund
The Compassion Fund at Harmony Church exists to assist regular attendees of Harmony Church by offering one-time financial grants to help cover essential needs in time of personal financial crisis. Individuals with more general non-essential financial needs or chronic financial issues will be directed to our Pastoral Care ministry to assess any changes that may be needed to become financially stable. Are you a regular attender of Harmony Church and are having financial difficulty?
Fill out our Compassion Fund form below and submit it online, and we will get back to you.
Marriage
Wedding/Premarital: Preparation for marriage involves much more than detailing a beautiful wedding, it involves laying the emotional, mental, and spiritual foundations upon which an enduring marriage is built. Because weddings are temporary whereas the tools for a great marriage last a lifetime, we believe at Harmony Church that premarital counselling is one of the greatest investments you can make for your future.
Marriage Counselling: We know and understand marital challenges. Our goal is to help you reclaim, heal, and build the marriage God intended for you. Great marriages are possible, and we would like to show you practical ways to restore and heal your marriage.
Marriage celebrants: We have a number of registered celebrants who may be able to conduct your wedding ceremony. Booking well in advance is strongly recommended – please contact us to enquire further.
Hospital Visits
When illness or injury strikes, we are affected emotionally and spiritually. Our pastors and hospital visitation team are available to visit for prayer and encouragement if you (or someone you know) is hospitalised. To request a hospital visit, please contact us.
Sozo
SOZO is the Greek word translated “saved, healed, delivered.” Sozo ministry is a unique inner healing and deliverance ministry aimed to get to the root of things hindering your personal connection with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. With a healed connection, you can walk in the destiny to which you have been called.
A Sozo session is a time for the Sozo team to sit down with you and with the help of the Holy Spirit walk you through the process of freedom and wholeness. Sozo is not a counselling session but a time of interacting with Father, Son and Holy Spirit for wholeness and pursuing of your destiny.
Funerals
Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things to go through. If you, or someone you know, has experienced the loss of a family member you can contact us to make arrangements for a Harmony Church pastor to conduct a funeral service either at Harmony or at another location.
Contact us in confidence and let us care for you at this difficult time.
