What are Small groups at Harvest?
Small groups are weekly gatherings of 8-14 people who share the desire to grow in their commitment to Jesus Christ
through caring and accountable relationships, focusing on the application of God’s Word to their lives.
Harvest small groups are comprised of a diverse group of people including
young, old, singles, marrieds, empty nesters, youth and everything in between.
They gather each week for prayer, accountability, bearing one another’s burdens,
celebrating each others joys, and most importantly to discuss and apply God’s Word to their lives.
