Our Lead Pastors
Jimmy and Jessica Hargrove have been builders of 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. They also 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. Then, in 2025, the role of lead Pastor was passed on to them.
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.
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.
Our Youth Pastors
Kaleb and Tori oversee Harbor City Youth. They have a passion for discipling students into the next generation of world changers for Jesus, rooted by faith, and studied in the Word of God.
Kaleb and Tori were both born and raised on the Harbor, and have been attending HCC since 2010! They have enjoyed the privilege of pastoring youth in both California and Washington. In addition to pastoring the youth, Kaleb is a United States Army Veteran, a current city councilman, and a former high school football coach. Kaleb is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in cybersecurity. In his spare time, he enjoys playing sports and video games, singing, and camping. Tori has an associate's degree in medical assisting and enjoys reading, singing, and board games of any kind.
They have 3 wonderful kids of their own: Sebastian, Archer, and Lillian.
Our Children's Pastor
Mindy is the Harbor City Children’s Pastor as well as the Director of Missions. Beyond ministry leadership, she is a devoted mother of six—including two children with special needs. Her personal journey fuels her passion to create environments where every child and family feels seen, supported, and fully included.
Mindy loves traveling and exploring new places, thriving on adventure, and making meaningful memories with her family. She also loves sports—she’s an avid fan of the Seattle Seahawks and proudly cheers them on whether they win or lose. She enjoys giving back to her community by coaching Little League baseball and children’s basketball ages 4–11. Mindy is also her kids’ biggest supporter when it comes to their extracurricular activities and interests, hardly missing their events.
Our Founding Pastors
Now retired from their lead role at Harbor City Church in 2025, 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 first Lead Pastors of Harbor City Church by The City Church in Kirkland WA, in 2006, under the leadership of Pastors Wendell and Gini Smith.
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.
