About Our Name and Logo

 

Yes, it is a bit different, but so are we! A harbor is a place where ships, and people, are protected from storms while they prepare for the next part of their journey. A good harbor is deep, yet safe. At Christ Harbor, we allow Jesus to take us to the deep places of the spirit so that we will be better vessels for His service throughout life. It is a place where you will be accepted and loved, and also challenged to go deeper with God.

 

Our logo depicts a lighthouse representing our role in our community. Combined with the light rays, the lighthouse results in a cross. Both are firmly planted in rock which is also symbolic of the firm foundation only available through the love and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

 

Our History

 

Christ Harbor began in the fall of 1998 in the pastor's home living room. Soon the church moved to the Huntington Activity Building for Sunday services. In January of 2000, Christ Harbor officially chartered and has truly seen God's hand at work in our congregation, our services and in our lives. The church remained "portable" but later began meeting in a larger facility, the Tuscaloosa County High School Cafeteria. In March of 2005 the chruch moved into our first building and current location next door to Tuscaloosa County High School.
