We are Harvest Families! Harvest Families exists to help connect family units to God, each other, and other families. We do this through meaningful worship, intentional friendships, and purposeful connection. Harvest Families includes Harvest Kids and Harvest Youth. Harvest Kids serves families with children birth through 5th grade, guiding them lovingly through the first years of life. Harvest Yo

uth serves families with youth 6th grade through college, empowering and encouraging students to grow in their faith while also focusing on study and service. We're excited about combining these ministries and all it will bring to our congregation and community. If you have any questions about this transition or about Harvest Families in general, please don't hesitate to reach out!
