HARVEST Youth

Church of the Harvest’s mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. That begins with our youngest infants into adulthood. The Church of the Harvest youth and high school ministry is specifically designed to relate to teenagers on a level that is most relevant and engaging to them.

Middle School

Our Middle School Ministry (6th–8th grade) helps students grow as disciples who love God and people. We emphasize identity in Christ, the authority of Scripture, and partner with parents as the primary disciple-makers. Through small groups, fun gatherings, and service opportunities—like helping with younger kids during the 10:45 hour—we create spaces for students to belong, build friendships, and develop as servant leaders.
