Connect with JUSTIN

I'm Justin Harcharik and I’ve been on staff at Christ Community Church for a little over 3 years, originally serving on our Facilities Team. I’ve also been involved in Youth and Children’s Ministries for over 9 years. I’m passionate about investing in students from all walks of life—including ones with special needs and those navigating difficult circumstances—because I myself have experienced and believe in the power of Christ-centered relationships during these formative years.

I recently got married to my amazing wife, Tyra, who also works on staff as the church’s administrative assistant—we actually met here at church!

In my free time, I enjoy listening to Christian hip-hop, playing racquetball, watching sitcoms, and getting outdoors to explore.
