Center for Ministry

Ministry Resources

Family Ministry

The Center for Family Ministry connects churches with students who are interested in serving families in a congregational setting. Many churches from all over the U.S. are seeking to hire Harding students and graduates to serve as summer interns and full-time ministers to adolescents, children, college students and more.

Preaching

Located in the McInteer Bible and World Missions Center, the Center for Preaching exists to inspire and equip the next generation of Christian preachers as well as to offer resources and encouragement to those already in the field.

Health Care Ethics and Human Dignity Initiative

The initiative envisions the formation of undergrad and graduate students into faithful, morally excellent, knowledgeable, self-disciplined, steadfast, reverent and beneficial people who are compelled by love to address ethical issues with Christian humility, nuanced sensitivity and robust theological sensibility.

Shepherding

In partnership with the Midsouth Shepherding and Ministers Summit, the Center for Ministry is excited to host the annual Shepherding Workshop, providing resources and encouragement for church leaders in a contemporary context.

Inspire Bible Lectureship

Lectureship is a tradition that is as old as Harding University. Since our very first fall as a four-year college, students and friends of Harding have gathered from across the country and around the world for this special occasion. Lectureship has always been part-homecoming, part-revival, part-intensive Bible study and part-celebration of the University itself.

Bloom Conference

The Bloom Conference, formerly known as Women in God's Service (WINGS), is an annual conference for women of all ages hosted by the College of Bible and Ministry at Harding. This fun event is hosted each winter and normally draws guests from several states as well as students and employees of Harding.

UPLIFT

Uplift is a summer camp for students entering the 7th grade through graduating seniors on the campus of Harding University. While most campers come with their youth groups, they can also come individually. Each day, students will go to classes and hear speakers, with plenty of time devoted to recreation and entertainment. They stay in Harding's dormitories at night and eat in the campus cafeteria. Learn more about dates and registration at upliftonline.com.

Kerusso

Kerusso is a week-long preacher training camp for 9th-12th grade high school boys. Students spend the week on Harding's campus learning Bible study methods and sermon preparation and delivery from faculty, students, and friends. More importantly, perhaps, is that they learn that they, too, can serve the LORD in a lifetime of ministry.

Please prayerfully consider any young men from your congregation whom you feel may benefit from this type of instruction and inspiration, and offer to connect them to Kerusso. The usual fee is $200. Applications and contact information are all available on this page. Also, be sure to look up previous year's Kerusso Experience on Facebook to see pictures and videos from the week. Feel free to call or e-mail any of us with any questions that you might have, and to pass on this information to any who might be interested.

We seek nothing more than to serve the LORD and his church through this endeavor. We solicit your prayers and your partnership as we aspire to raise up a new generation of kingdom servants.

Chapel

Chapel is one of the ways we demonstrate to both the world and ourselves that faith in God remains at the center of all we do.

Home Bible Studies

Periodic devotionals beside the Kenneth Davis Lily Pool, in the amphitheater and at other locations enable one to become more aware of the wonders of God’s creation. Christian fellowship and worship are stressed in devotionals held in the various residence halls.
