Home - What We Teach - Our Mission Our purpose is to glorify God through the fulfillment of the Great Commission in the spirit of the Great Commandment.

What is the great commandment?

In Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus says the Great Commandment is this: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind... and your neighbor as yourself".

What is the great commission?

The Great Commission is when Jesus tells those who are following Him to "go and make disciples." It is found in Matthew 28:19-20.

what is a disciple?

A disciple is a learner, a follower, a person, who is eager to apply the truths Jesus teaches.  Disciples aren't people who think they have it all together and have everything figured out. They're people in progress - desiring to grow in love, grace, peace, hope and truth.

At Harvest, we describe a disciple by using three simple words: Worship, Walk, Work. No matter which Harvest you attend - in the United States, Canada or abroad - we all use these same words to help us accomplish our purpose.

We believe the disciples of Jesus Christ should minister to one another in the local church. It's not about one or a small number of pastors bearing the total responsibility to care for the entire congregation. It's about all disciples using their God-given spiritual gifts to provide mutual ministry in the context of the vibrant and strong local church (Ephesians 4:11-12).
