Harvest isn't a church WITH small groups, it's a church OF small groups.
What are Small Groups?
In Small Groups we gather together to deepen our relationship with Jesus by intentionally applying God’s word to our lives, helping one another, caring for one another, and encouraging one another as we seek to be transformed by Jesus. We accomplish this in weekly gatherings in homes around our community. Groups meet from September - May the first 3 weeks of every month and we have groups that meet almost every day of the week.
Why Small Groups?
We believe that as followers of Jesus we are called to do life in community, and believe small groups provide the best space for us to do this. As we look at the role of a follower of Jesus in Scripture, we see this idea of “Mutual Ministry” which is the understanding that we are entering into community not only to be poured into, but also to pour out by walking alongside our group and pointing them to Jesus through love, prayer, and encouragement.

CELEBRATION
God is moving in our small groups every week! Because of that, our hope is that we would take time regularly to recognize how God is moving in our lives and collectively celebrate with each other as we experience God's presence and work. As you come to small group, be prepared to be the person who is eager to encourage others and celebrate the movement of God in each other's lives.
OWNERSHIP
Our desire is for Mutual Ministry within our small groups - a community that serves each other equally. This is only possible when ALL of our members come together thinking less "what's in this for me?" and more "what can I contribute and give to those around me?". This kind of ownership requires consistency in showing up, transparency of our hearts, and vulnerability as we listen to our community.
GROWTH
As a Community, we are committed to our Spiritual Growth. It is not always a comfortable process, but one that we recognize is so necessary as we grow in our discipleship to Jesus! Through community, we encourage one another in small steps of obedience, hold each other accountable, and celebrate the growth that occurs because we have a faithful God who is eager to transform us into His Image!
LOVE
There is something unique to the unity that you find in Biblical Community. We believe that it comes from unconditional, sacrificial love. When we understand the depths to which we have been loved, we are compelled to love in the same way regardless of the circumstances! This is what creates a community of people who love others unconditionally and seek out opportunities to serve one another in love.
