Looking to Connect?
Connections Desk
The Connections Desk is the place for first-time guests to connect with our church. It is located in the lobby near the main entrance to our building. If you have never done so, we invite you to drop by after any of our weekend services to meet briefly with a representative from our Harvest family. He or she would love to extend you a warm welcome and help answer any questions you may have or assist you connecting in any way. While you are there, you can sign up for Harvest Essentials, where you will learn more about our church and have an extended opportunity to meet with others who are new.

Thanks so much for your desire to serve at Harvest. Serving in the ministries here helps to grow our church and give back what the Lord has given to us.
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 4:10-11
We Believe True Disciples
Worship, Walk, Work and Witness
for Jesus Christ
At Harvest Bible Chapel, we believe that baptism by immersion in water identifies a believer with Jesus in his death, burial, and resurrection. Although baptism is not required for salvation, it is commanded for all believers to obey. Scripture shows that individuals were baptized after receiving forgiveness of sin and placing their faith in Jesus, and is the biblically-prescribed mark of our spiritual union with Christ. While we would be excited to have you baptized during a worship service at Harvest, believer’s baptism may take place in various venues or situations following conversion subject to the protocols established by our elders.
Resources:
Belonging, fulfilment, relationship, encouragements…these are just some of the words that come to mind when we think of good reasons to join a church like Harvest. By joining, you will also know that you are following the pattern laid out in the Bible for followers of Jesus Christ.
