Fall 2025 Spiritual Emphasis

An eight-session primer on spiritual formation

Two thousand years ago, Jesus said to his disciples, “follow me.” But what does it mean for us to follow Jesus today?
The Practicing the Way Course is an on-ramp to spiritual formation, exploring what it means to follow Jesus and laying the foundation for a life of apprenticeship to him.

Community Starts Here.

We want to help people move out of isolation and into inclusion; out of anonymity and into community; out of independence and into interdependence. We are better together than we are apart.  We were made for community. Community Groups provide a safe place for you to make new friendships and grow in faith.  

At Harvest Chapel, a Community Group is the best place for sustained life change to occur. These groups study God’s Word and discuss the issues and challenges of life. It’s also where people pray together, care for one another, and are missed if they don’t show up.  Learn more about which groups are offered below.
