Biblical Ministry Development
"…Train everyone you send and send everyone you train.”
– J.T. English
Faithful disciples of Jesus thrive when they pursue growing deeper in their knowledge of Who God is within Church community. Harvest has curated programs for our members, lay leaders, undergraduate students, and graduate-level students.
– Harvest Apprenticeship Program – A 6-month immersive training experience focused on theological education, ministry skills, and personal discipleship, designed to equip participants for gospel-centered leadership.
– Harvest Deploy Program – This 2-year residency partners with Grace Theological Seminary to train future ministry leaders and equip them with their choice of a Masters in Church Ministry or a Masters of Divinity; providing hands-on ministry experience, mentorship, and leadership development to prepare individuals for vocational ministry or church planting.
Our primary aim is to foster deeply rooted disciples of Jesus in the truth; to enrich the theological understanding, spiritual disciplines, and leadership capabilities of individuals in their lifelong commitment to pursuing the Lord with unwavering devotion in their heart, soul, mind, and strength.
