Our Foundation

Our foundation is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11 says “For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” Our church stands on the reality of who He is and what He has done. Anything built on less will ultimately be torn down. Building on this foundation guarantees success - whether it is in our church or our individual lives - this foundation stands for eternity.
 

Our Pillars

Our church is founded on Jesus Christ and supported by four pillars. These pillars are not specific to Harvest Bible Chapel as they are derived from Biblical truths, but they help us understand and clarify what we are committed to as well as explain what we choose to emphasize throughout our church. These pillars will define our church at every level from children’s ministry to small groups.
 
I. Proclaiming the Authority of God's Word Without Apology

2 Timothy 4:2 - "Preach the Word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke and exhort, with complete patience and teaching."
 
Each week, we all devote time to opening the Bible to a specific passage to explain the truth it contains and apply the principles to our lives. We believe this Book and the God it reveals can make a significant impact in our daily lives.

II. Lifting High the Name of Jesus Through Worship
 
John 4:24 - "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth."
 
We seek to worship Jesus for who he is and what he has done in our lives. Our worship team will lead us in songs each week to help us engage our minds and hearts and give him the praise he deserves. Our hope is that all who join us will experience God's presence and develop a hunger for God.

III. Believing Firmly in the Power of Prayer
 
Colossians 4:2 - "Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving."
 
We started our church with prayer and will continue to pray as we've seen God free us from sin, heal our hurts, exceed our expectations and raise up a group of faithful leaders who desire to love, support and pray for you.

IV. Sharing the Good News of Jesus with Boldness
 
Ephesians 6:19-20 - "and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak."
 
When you've embraced the truth of who Jesus is, you develop a desire to share this truth with others. We encourage you to go tell others about the change God has made in your life, and we provide many opportunities for you to reach out to the community and the world.
