Harvest Apprenticeship Program
This 9-month Gap Year Program is for Young Adults who wish to grow in the walk with Christ and walk out their faith by serving in hands-on-ministry at Harvest Bible Chapel.
Integrating both practical ministry tasks with a classroom cohort environment, Apprentices will be equipped to be better ambassadors for Christ and His kingdom — wherever God leads them!
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself...” Matt. 6:33-34
