The Way of Wisdom Women's Bible Study
Monday, January 26 - April 13, 2026
9:00-10:30 am in Room 116 (Conference Room)
This study is a 12-week verse mapping Bible study that invites women to slow down in Scripture and explore what it means to live wisely according to God's design. Together, we will search the Word to discover the way of life God offers through his Wisdom - learning how leaning on his Wisdom rather than our own shapes our thinking, our choices, and our daily lives.
This study uses both verse mapping techniques and Simeon Trust exercises in each weekly lesson.

Women's Ministry Spring Retreats 2026
March 13-15, 2026 and May 1-3, 2026
Our small, coastal retreats are designed to create space for learning, connection, and encouragement in a peaceful, homelike setting. With our groups limited to 12 or fewer women, each retreat offers women an opportunity to step away from daily demands and experience meaningful fellowship, guided teaching, and unhurried conversations.
Stepping Forward: The Joy of Everyday Faith
This spring, our focus is on four women from both the Old and New Testaments who chose to take a step forward in faith. Through their stories, we will explore how obedience, trust, and courage deepened their understanding of God - and how their faithfulness allowed Him to work in amazing ways in both their own lives and the world around them.
Come take a step of faith with us this spring - join us on the coast and experience the joy of everyday faith.
Registration opens Sunday, February 1st.

Discipleship Conference
Friday night and all day Saturday, March 6-7, 2026
Hinson Church - 1137 SE 20th Ave, Portland, OR 97214
Harvest exists to make disciples, and the 9Marks Northwest Conference will help us do just that! This annual conference is a way for Christians to learn about several often-overlooked biblical practices for the church, and the focus this year is the important topic of Discipling. Speakers will present nine sessions on building healthy (that is, biblical) churches through a Biblical understanding and practice of discipleship. We will study the both the theology behind discipleship and the practical outworking of discipleship in the local church. There will be many opportunities throughout the conference to ask questions, dialogue with the speakers, and build relationships with other Christians. We invite all Harvest members to consider attending this 1½ day conference in Portland, and be part of helping our church grow in discipling.
