Church of the Harvest

The church will be built according to:

Fruitful
Fellowship

Evangelistic
Engagement

Diligent
Discipleship

Spiritual
Service

Fruitful Fellowship:
Fellowship that produces righteous fruit in our lives� The bible says, �Iron sharpens iron�...where when I hang with my brothers or see my sisters, they encourage me and I encourage them, and our fellowship helps us to walk with the Lord to such a degree that the fruit of the Lord manifests in our lives.

Evangelistic Engagement:
A heart desire to reach the lost, which is our call.

Diligent Discipleship:
Becoming disciples so that we can go out and, in turn, make disciples to fulfill the Great Commission. You gotta be a disciple to make a disciple. And that�s what we want to focus on. We want to make sure that people understand that Christianity is more than about joining a church. It�s becoming the Church that God created us to be.

Spiritual Service:
Spiritual Service relates to G.I.F.T.S.� If we can have spiritual service, we are serving one another but also we are serving the lost through the love of Christ where they see in us something that sets us apart from the rest of the world, the rest of the community, and that they begin to desire what we have. You can have the truth, but, as the old saying goes, people don�t care how much you know till they know how much you care. And so we want to take our people and teach them how to care, how to be a good neighbor, how to be a good friend. �A good friend doesn�t mean just simply listening to what a person says and agreeing with it; but a good friend is being there for another, but also loving that person enough to tell him or her what God�s ways are�in a loving manner, but speaking the truth to that person in the spirit of God�s love for them. Because if a friend knows you�re in something that�s harming you, and that person doesn't tell you the truth�that person is not really a friend. So we want to love you enough to tell you the truth, but we we want our words to be seasoned with grace and with mercy so that people know that we do care. We�re not just people who want to condemn them to hell, because we don�t want to see anyone go to hell! In fact, that�s the whole purpose of this ministry�to snatch people from the fires of hell. We, like God, are not wishing that any should perish but that all would come to repentance. We want all to live holy, for God is holy, and we want to be pleasing in His sight. But we want to keep it in the forefront that Christianity is more than about just coming and sitting in the pews but actually being a part of the work for the kingdom of God.
