History
The 501c3, nonprofit, Harmonize Community Inc., began first as an idea from then Oklahoma Christian University Freshman, J. Tyler Clark, who wanted to know which Church of Christ-affiliated college had the best Spring Sing event.
After the Harmony 2019 Event, the team realized if they marketed the show towards high school students, the university admissions departments would help finance their ambitious operations. At both the Harmony 2020 and 2021 Events, $2,000+ in scholarships to Christian colleges was awarded.
Post law school graduation and Texas bar passage, Tyler began working full time for Harmonize to help the organization grow and equip churches to promote and provide scholarships for Christian higher education to people in their respective communities.
