Harvest’s Core Values
<< Back to About Us
We seek to live in community
- We desire to provide a true and healthy experience of “family” for all kinds of people, including those who have suffered pain and loss in their nuclear and extended family relationships.
- We actively seek to rejoice with one another as well as bear one another’s burdens in all areas of life, not just the spiritual.
- We encourage relationships across generations, and structure our activities to include a balance of age-specific and age-mixed opportunities.
- We seek to be genuinely welcoming to all who choose to participate with us.
We seek to live in authenticity
- We aim to be honest with God and with one another about our struggles with sin and weakness, not pretending to be something we are not.
- We seek to relate to God both publicly and privately in a way that is genuine, without showmanship or pretense.
- We desire to be active in demonstrating, not just talking about, love to a world desperately in need of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We seek to live in humility
- We purposefully share leadership, including our Sunday morning teaching, among gifted individuals rather than looking to one individual.
- We seek to serve alongside and encourage other local churches and ministries, including but not limited to those with whom we share our facility.
- We desire to emphasize what is most central and important to the historic Christian faith, not allowing secondary issues to distract or cause division.
- We trust in Jesus Christ himself, and not simply in our own human efforts, to draw people to saving faith.
