We exist for students to meet Jesus, grow in their relationship with Him (through Bible studies, service opportunities, discipleship, camps/retreats...), share his love in action and truth, and worship Him in everything we do.
Youth Group: Wednesday nights
Youth group meets on Wednesday nights from 7-9 pm at Harvest. All students 6th-12th grade are welcome! We are asking that students wear masks and social distance.
Recently, we've placed an emphasis on small groups as we recognize the importance for students to have social interaction with their peers right now. Small groups meet based on gender and age. We're doing a lot of the same activities as before, with some adjustments so we can keep everyone healthy and be responsible.

Colossians
Sunday Mornings
We value students as a part of the body of Christ and want to encourage them to participate in fellowship and serving on Sunday mornings. Middle School and High School students meet for Sunday school every other Sunday during the school year (in Room 5). They start in the service and are dismissed from there.
On the weeks they don't have Sunday school, we encourage them to attend and particapate in the Sunday morning worship gathering. We also have several students who serve the body in Children's Ministry, on the Music Team, or Audio/Visual Team.
