Our Story
Our Story
HCMBC was started in the 1930s. Harris Chapel was started by a group of believers who were a part of our sister church, Maple Springs Missionary Baptist Church. Our church is named in honor of one of it's early members, Claborne Harris who made this property available to our church in its early days. Today, Harris Chapel is a vibrant fellowship, with active members of all ages.

Our Members
The Doers
What happens at Harris Chapel Missionary Baptist Church is done because the members of the church do ministry and make it happen. In some churches members attend and pay church staff to do ministry. Those ministers would be the first to say that is not how it is supposed to be. God's intention is for Church members to do ministry and for pastors to equip. By necessity, by love for the Lord and people, the members of HCMBC do the ministry. We invite you to be a part of what God is accomplishing through our church as He ministers through us and allow us to be a part of His work and Mission!!!
