DISCIPLESHIP AT HARVEST

At Harvest, everything we do is connected to our mission: to “love God, love people and make disciples of Jesus Christ.” We want to help move people deeper into their relationship with God and ready them to make disciples wherever God might send them. Because of this mission, we have articulated a direction for Christ-followers called The Pathway. The Pathway consists of four biblical mandates that define and direct the Christian toward both maturity and multiplication. Each of the four mandates has three practical “mile-markers” that prompt individuals toward ongoing application of God’s Word in their every-day life. All of our ministries, ministry events, and ministry resources are connected to the Pathway’s mandates and mile-markers in order to further the spiritual development of people at every age and life-stage.

The four biblical mandates of the The Pathway:


FOLLOW CHRIST // GROW TOGETHER // DISCIPLE OTHERS // REACH THE WORLD

FOLLOW CHRIST

BEGIN A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS

COMMIT // Surrender your life to Christ personally.
(Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, Romans 10:9-10)
