It's all about discipleship!
"We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ." - Col 1:28
It is our goal as a church to fulfill Ephesians 4:12-13 which is to build up each believer until they reach full maturity in Christ (which we know doesn't fully happen until heaven). Therefore, we are very committed to ensure our small groups are first and foremost about discipleship. And the great news is that a by-product of committing to discipleship, is that friendships form and deepen in Biblical community!
We believe that God created us for relationship: relationship with Him, relationship with family and friends, relationship with other Christ-followers, relationship with our local communities.
“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” - Hebrews 10:24-25
No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, God loves you and has called us to help you grow in your relationship with Him. There is a place in our small group fellowship for you.
Harvest is not a church with small groups -Small groups are one of many programs
Harvest is a church of small groups - Small groups are the program
We at Harvest are committed building not a quantity of disciples but rather with building a quality of discipleship.
The context for building quality disciples is Small Groups.
We strongly recommend that you attend Party With The Pastors and take the Encounter 1 Class prior to deciding to connect and join up in a small group. These events are designed to touch on the elements of Harvest Bible Chapel, such as the four pillars of Harvest, our statement of faith, church structure, theological distinctives among other things at Harvest Bible Chapel.
To find out when the next Party With The Pastors and Encounter 1 Class are scheduled please go to our events page.
