Our Lead Pastors
Pastor Doug Cotton and his wife, Lois, have lived on the Harbor for all their lives and have ministered to youth and adults since 1980 in various locations and ministry roles throughout Grays Harbor County. Pastor Doug graduated from Portland Bible College in 1977 and they were placed as the Lead Pastors of Harbor City Church by The City Church in Kirkland WA, in 2006, under the leadership of Pastors Wendell and Gini Smith.
They are a part of Minister's Fellowship International, an international community of over 1500 churches located worldwide, as well as ARC (Associated of Related Churches), dedicated to establishing new churches around the globe.
Their heart is to provide teaching, training and fellowship that will produce individuals that live, love and look like Jesus and impact the world around them.
Our New Lead Pastors
Jimmy and Jessica Hargrove have been builders at Harbor City Church since 2007. Over the years they have served in City Kids, Youth Ministry, Young Adults, Ushers, Greeters, Coffee Bar and Small Groups. Currently, they are part of the speaking team, City Kids, and they facilitate our Wednesday night prayer meeting. They have a zeal for prayer and the presence of God. In 2022 they were set in as Elders/Pastors.
In 2024 Jimmy officially joined the staff as an Associate Pastor. Jimmy enjoys the occasional game of golf or softball and taking his family on hikes. Jessica enjoys gardening and building stuff for the house or garden. Together they enjoy the woods and camping as a family. They are raising (and Jes is homeschooling) their three intense, imaginative, and boisterous children. If you visit their home, bring earplugs--and snacks.
In January 2025, Jimmy and Jessica Hargrove will be set in as the Lead Pastors of Harbor City Church. Jimmy and Jes love this region and are excited to see what Jesus does next through his Church. They prayerfully expect to see God’s Kingdom come in Grays Harbor County as it is in Heaven.
