Current Sermon Series - The Disciplemaking Church
This fall marks Harvest’s 40th anniversary! We’ll kick off this year of ministry by renewing our focus on God’s mission for our church: to make disciples of all nations. For three Sundays in September we’ll discover the three tools God gives us to accomplish this mission: his Word, his Spirit, and his church. Our disciplemaking will be strengthened as we explore how to implement these tools practically in the life of our congregation. Read ahead, engage with this sermon series, and discuss with others!

Harvest's Updated Missions Philosophy and Policy Classes
September 20: Missions Class #2, Thinking Biblical About Current Trends in Missions
September 27: Missions Class #2, Harvest's Updated Missions Policy
8:30-9:30 am
Room 113/114
As a church, we’ve put a lot of thought and energy over the past 7 years into pursuing our God-given mission to make disciples of all nations. Recently, the Elders have been thinking, learning, and discussing the “all nations” part of that: the way we do global missions.
This has culminated in a significant update to our global missions philosophy (what we’re doing in missions), and the creation – for the first time – of a written global missions policy (how we’re doing it). Join us to learn more.

Isaiah - Redemption Revealed, Phase 2
Every Sunday before Services
8:30 am in Room 202
Class taught by Randy Armstrong
Jesus (and the Apostle Paul) often quoted from the book of Isaiah. Why?
Isaiah tells us of:
- The reaching out of the heart of God,
- The tragic rebellion of mankind,
- The resulting corrective judgment, and
- God's redemption and future hope.
At first, Isaiah can seem confusing, but knowing the background makes it surprisingly clear. Join us as we explore the greatest of the Old Testament prophets.

Q & A Elder and Staff Pastor Ratio
September 20, 2026
12:00-1:00 pm
Multi Purpose Room
The elders propose the following change to Article 2, Section B of our Constitution & Bylaws, concerning the office of Elder:
Current wording: The ratio of Lay Elders to Staff Pastors must not be less than 2:1. In the event the ratio falls below 2:1, the Lay Elders may appoint a former Lay Elder who is currently a member in good standing to fill the position, until a new Lay Elder is selected as specified in Section C below.
Proposed new wording : The ratio of Lay Elders to Staff Pastors must be a simple majority. In the event the ratio falls below a simple majority, the Lay Elders may appoint a former Lay Elder who is currently a member in good standing to fill the position, until a new Lay Elder is selected as specified in Section C below.
Since this motion concerns a change to one of our Core Documents, a congregational vote on the motion will take place at the next Members’ Meeting on November 15, 2026. The Elders welcome questions and feedback at this meeting.
