Harvest Groups-Adult Bible Fellowship

Harvest Groups exist to develop healthy and devoted disciples of Jesus.  We want to see you CONNECT with the Harvest Family, GROW in your relationships with God and His people and SERVE with this community of faith as we REACH people with the love of Jesus and spread the Good News.  Regardless of your season of life, you are sure to find a fit in our Harvest Groups.

The best and simplest way to connect with our Groups is through our First Step class.  The First Step is available every Sunday morning at 9 am in room B – 101.  Enter in through any door and let the greeter know you are interested in the First Step.  They will be happy to escort you.  The purpose of this class is to help you connect with a Group, discuss the different ministries at Harvest and take you on a tour of our facilities.

What is ABF?

Our Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF) classes are campus-based Harvest Groups that meet for Bible study, fellowship and prayer on Sunday mornings from 9:00 to 10:15 am.

These group gatherings meet according to life cycle for the purpose of deepening each group member's walk with Christ and also creating meaningful relationships with each other.

Children's programming is available for all ages.
