    It's all about discipleship!

    "We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ." - Col 1:28



    Small Groups
    are the best place to connect at Harvest if you want to grow in your relationship with Jesus. Our Small Groups are designed to help you develop significant relationships with others who can encourage and challenge you to consistently apply the truths of God’s Word to each area of your life.

    Small Groups are not “another thing” at Harvest; they are the main channel for discipleship and care for each person who is a part of the Harvest family.



    Overview of Small Groups
    Each Small Group meets three to four times each month and is lead by a trained Small Group Leader. Group meetings are normally two hours and include time for Bible discussion, accountability, and prayer, as well as informal times to build relationships with others in the group.

    God wants every follower of Jesus to be continually growing as we worship Christ, walk with Christ, and work for Christ. Each Harvest Small Group is committed to both Mutual Ministry and Multiplication.

    Mutual Ministry means that each member of the group is looking for ways to minister to the other members of the group. All groups should also be prayerfully considering a way to extend the ministry of their Small Group through

    Multiplication. Multiplication means eventually forming two or more groups so that others who are not yet in Small Groups can continue to find places to connect with a Small Group.



    We at Harvest are committed building not a quantity of disciples but rather with building a quality of discipleship.

     

    The context for building quality disciples is Small Groups.



    We strongly recommend that you attend Party With The Pastors and take the Encounter 1 Class prior to deciding to connect and join up in a small group. These events are designed to touch on the elements of Harvest Bible Chapel, such as the four pillars of Harvest, our statement of faith, church structure, theological distinctives among other things at Harvest Bible Chapel.
    To find out when the next Party With The Pastors and Encounter 1 Class are scheduled please go to our events page.
