ABOUT US
Sent to the end of our street and the ends of the earth
We believe Jesus is Lord and King, that following him changes everything, and that the church is the hope of the world. We are called to make disciples, people who are filled with the Spirit and living for the Kingdom of God.
That means we want to see people come to know Jesus, be baptised, grow in character and confidence, find freedom, discover their purpose, serve wholeheartedly, and play their part in God’s mission in the world.
If you are new the best way to get to know us is to come on a Sunday, share a meal, come to Exploring Membership and then decide this is you church.
We hope to see you soon!
Everything that Harvest Church does happens because everyone in the church joins in and plays their part.
Our volunteers are led by a series of key teams
Elders
The Bible calls those who lead the church elders, shepherds, or overseers. We tend to call them elders. This team of godly men is responsible for keeping us on biblical foundations, setting our culture and direction, and showing us what following Jesus looks like.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
We love God’s word and the presence of his Spirit
We hold a number of core values and beliefs dear. We are Christians, holding to the four ecumenical creeds; Protestant, affirming justification by faith alone and the Bible as our ultimate authority; and Evangelical, affirming statements such as the Lausanne Covenant.
We are part of Commission, a part of the global Newfrontiers family of churches, partnering together to plant and strengthen churches across the nations.
