Hartford City Mission has been serving youth in Hartford since 1998, starting with Noah's Sidewalk Sonday School. Today we operate programs for children, teens and the neighborhood around our Ministry house in the north end of Hartford.
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 northend 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 (formerly tL youth ministry), Women of the Vine, and the Vine Street Blockwatch.
Some of these groups get together at our ministry house at the corner of Vine and Edgewood Streets - ‘the Vine’, which is also where a group of folks connected to HCM are living together in an intentional community setting (the Community of the Vine). In these pages, you can see what we’ve been up to lately, and a few ways we’ve seen God’s presence in our midst. Maybe you’ll see opportunities to join us in some way.

The Hartford City Mission board of directors have spent time time reflecting the ministry growth over the past 13 years and in prayer discerning where the Lord is leading the ministry in the coming years. The core leadership team is united in its belief that in order to more effectively fulfill its mission the ministry as a whole should move toward a more relationship-based model. On the following pages we provide a more detailed assessment of how Hartford City Mission leadership senses we are being led to move toward each of these objectives.
Please join us in prayer as we pursue the details of this plan and move with the Lord into the next phase of our ministry in Hartford. |

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. |
