What We Believe

Core Beliefs of Harvest

The following are the core beliefs of Harvest Church based on the foundational truths taught in the bible.  All of our teaching and ministry is rooted in these biblical doctrines.

God

We believe in One eternally existing God who created all things. God has revealed Himself to us as our Father, in His Son Jesus Christ, and as the Holy Spirit, with distinct attributes but without division of nature, essence, or being. Jesus Christ is God displayed in flesh. He is both God and man.  God is perfect in love, power, holiness, goodness, knowledge, wisdom,  justice, and mercy. He is unchangeable and therefore is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

REvelation

God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, through the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.

Salavation

Jesus Christ came to reconcile us to God. He lived a life without sin and willingly died on the cross to pay the penalty for our transgressions. He was raised from the dead and now by grace offers eternal life as a free gift to all who follow Christ. That is why salvation can be found in Christ alone.

REpentance

We identify with Christ's death through repentance. Repentance is responding to God's love in surrender, turning towards God and turning away from whatever dishonors Him. It is our personal death to sin. Luke 13:3

Water Baptism

We identify with Christ's burial through water baptism. Scripturally, the name of Jesus was invoked over a person as they were immersed in water. This spiritual burial remits our sins and gives us new identity in Christ! Acts 2:38

Holy Spirit

We identify with the resurrection of Christ by receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. Just as Jesus rose from the dead, we too are given newness of life when we invite him to dwell in our hearts. John 3:5

Righteous Living

After the new birth, we believe in the continuance of righteous living, in submission to God & His Word. Ephesians 4:15 & Hebrews 12:1

The Church

The Church is meant to be the visible body of Christ sent into the world to glorify God and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are a Spirit-filled church and a bible-based church.
