Local Outreach Ministries
At Harvest Community Church we see our local community as our first opportunity in fulfilling the Great Commandment to "Love our Neighbor". It is our hope and prayer that the each individual who is a follower of Christ seeks to imitate his example and will not limit outreach only to events that are planned or scheduled by the church. We want to be the "word made flesh" in our own neighborhoods as we demonstrate our love for Christ through both words and works of service.
Harvest has partnered with or come alongside some of the following ministries and organizations. If you would like to know more about how you can serve in any of these areas or if you have ideas of new ways that Harvest Community Church can be involved in our local community, please contact jared@harvest-community.org.
Feed My Starving Children
FMSC is committed to feeding God's starving children hungry in body and spirit. Volunteers pack nutritious meals made up of rice, soy, vitamins and dehydrated vegetables, and we partner with relief organizations worldwide to distribute these meals to starving children.
Reach out: This is a great organization to take your youth group, community group, or host a birthday party. In the midst of fellowship you get to serve and bless others.
