Harbor House is a family made up of people from different families, a refuge in which we grow in faith and from which we are enabled to minister across our various vocations and callings.    We join with others who help us to know ourselves and live our lives more fully. In this we begin to know and love the world (its people) as Christ has commanded. The Dartmouth Six (the inhabitants of Harbor House ranging in age from 4 to 32) live in the McKnight neighborhood of Springfield amongst palaces and projects living in love with one another and, as we become bolder, our neighbors.
 
Believing that the early church had the right idea, we work to share chores, most dinners, some money, a netflix queue, and two amazing kids.

Living in a Nehemiah Community House

Pat and Debbie often say, "We aren't running a boarding house here." While the Nehemiah Community Houses are certainly welcoming to the sojourner, it isn't the primary calling of our ministry.  To be a resident of either community house (Nehemiah or Harbor) their is a process that You the applicant and We the community must go through.  People seeking permanent residency must discern in prayer whether they are willing to be committed to community life. The community must also be in prayer after reading a completed application and meeting the potential resident. If you are interested in becoming a Nehemiah community permanent resident, please email us!
