Hartford City Mission is a bunch of folks who are trying to learn what it means to love Jesus and live like him in the context of Hartford’s north end neighborhood. We do this, in part, through some regular gatherings of smaller communities within the ministry. In the past year, these gatherings have included Camp Noah, Noah’s Art, Noah’s Sidewalk Sonday School, Noah After School, YoungLife, and the Vine Street Blockwatch.
We welcome you to find out more information about our programs, glance through our photo gallery, investigate how you might get involved and please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions. |

SHARE the Good News. . . of Christ and His Kingdom, glorifying Him in words and actions. HCM currently partners with other north end ministries to provide assistance for physical needs including food, shelter, education, job assistance, and economic and housing development activities.
DEVELOP Disciples. . . fully devoted followers of Christ who are growing more into His likeness.
PROVIDE Opportunities. . .for Christians from a variety of geographic, economic, or racial backgrounds to serve in relevant, life-changing urban ministries, thus experiencing Christ in a unique manner, and in turn becoming more fully devoted followers of Him.
TRANSFORM Communities. . .we want God’s will as it’s done in heaven to be done down here in Hartford. So as Christ finds new homes in more and more hearts of Hartford residents we will work to expand the impact of HCM as an agent of justice and peace in our community, striving for: reductions in crime; improvements in education; less poverty; more jobs; fewer boarded up buildings; and more block parties. The goal of the prophet Nehemiah was to rebuild & revive the whole city of Jerusalem – our vision is no less for Hartford. |
