Member Congregations
The Hagerstown Area Religious Council is a collaboration of houses of worship and other faith partners. Our members do not all agree on theology, but all believe in working together to embody mercy, justice and love as diverse faith partners in Washington County. The following is a directory of HARC member congregations. Members contribute to the work of HARC through annual dues and a commitment to participate in our work in some way. Members guide our work through input, prayer, and listening to the needs of the community and the calling of the Divine. Members are eligible to vote on official organizational business of HARC. From our members:
“I believe in the power of collaboration to accomplish work in our community, and I think working together is a path to peace.”
“HARC is a group of friends in the community that care about showing love for God and their neighbor. I love being part.”
“HARC gives back to and helps build a better community and I am proud to serve in such capacity to make a difference and to be an advocate in doing God’s work with the talents that God has blessed me with.”
“HARC brings people of diverse faiths an opportunity to work together in service for others.”
“HARC: cares for people and helps the disadvantaged children with books and food. HARC: Is a Bridge for transformation, to bring people of different backgrounds and ethnicities together to build trust and learn to live together in harmony. HARC: Is a promoter of Peace in the city and everywhere.”
