These are the foundational core values and beliefs that everything at Harvest is built on.
What would your life look like if Jesus were living through you?
We are all called to live this life. It’s a Life based on a mission of hope, forgiveness, and impact.
We believe the Bible is the actual Word of God and is therefore the authority for how life works. While the methods of how we apply the truths of scripture may vary, the theology and belief of the Bible's authenticity and authority shape us. It is a love letter from God to each and every one of us.
Jesus didn't come to be served, but to serve. We follow His example and strive to place the needs of our community over our own. Our service should be relevant and tangible and make a difference.
We aren't here to sit around. We are here to seek after God, learn more about Him and His plan for us, and grow more and more in our relationship with Him. For those who choose to call Harvest home, there is an expectation that we grow individually and in community.
We're called to live the Life Jesus describes as "life to the fullest" (John 10:10). When you're living life to the fullest, shouldn't for the most part that be fun?! Life together is a blast! Having fun isn't just recommended, it's required!
that the Bible is the verbally inspired Word of God and without mistakes as originally written. It is the complete revelation of His will for salvation and the only unfailing rule of faith and practice for the Christian life.
in one God, Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that these three are co-eternal and of equal dignity and power.
in the deity of Jesus Christ; His miraculous conception by the Holy Spirit; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His substitutionary death on the cross; His bodily resurrection; His ascension to the right hand of the Father; and His personal, imminent return.
that man was created by and for God; that by man's disobeying God, every person incurred spiritual death, which is separation from God, and physical death as a consequence; and that all people are sinners by nature and practice.
that Christ died for our sins and that all who believe in Him are declared righteous because of His sacrificial death and are, therefore, in right relationship with God
in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit indwelling all believers and thus enabling and empowering the life and ministry of the believer.
in the bodily resurrection of everyone who has lived, the everlasting life with God for those in right relationship with God, and the everlasting punishment of those who have rejected God's forgiveness in His Son.
