Discipleship
At Harvest we aim to create clear pathways for God's people to grow and mature in their relationship with Christ. We want to see people at every age growing in their love for God, in their understanding of the Bible, in wisdom, and in Christ-like character. Our vision is that discipleship groups would be an engine for this type of growth at our church. We hope to see many groups of 3-5 people form and meet regularly to read and meditate on God's Word, pray for one another, and follow Christ together. Our plan is to begin forming these groups in early 2027.
The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.
