Adult Ministries

Making Disciples who Persevere in their Faith in Jesus Christ!

The purpose of Harvest Adult Ministries is to intentionally develop genuine disciples who glorify God and fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20). Our goal through our adult ministries is to continue to help maturing disciples of Jesus flourish in their relationship to God and make more and better disciples wherever they go.

We believe Maturing Disciples are uniquely planted, deeply rooted, carefully pruned and persistently fruitful.

Disciples of Jesus mature in their walk with Him as we GATHER together as a church, when we GROW in His Word and abiding in Him, and when we GO out-into our communities with the Gospel message.

Ministries

Our adult ministries include Men, Women, and Young adults (out of high school to late 20s). Connect and build community!
