Current Sermon Series - Psalms
Join us for a new series as we explore the Psalms. We'll see how to praise, give thanks, lament, understand God's character and covenant, as well as find wisdom and grow in our trust.
Upcoming 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 13: Missions Class #1, Harvest's Updated Missions Philosophy
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.

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.
