MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER AS FAMILY
We can see great things happen when we come together as a family and strive to see God work through us!
Becoming a member of a local church isn't just about having your name on a roster or being part of a club. Instead, it's commiting ourselves to a greater cause and joining together as a team to maximize our impact as God works in and through us.
When you choose to join Harvest as a member, you are acknowledging the work God is doing through the our local church body and commiting yourself to further that work by serving, giving, and growing together.
There are 3 basic things that must happen before someone can join Harvest as a member:
Personal Salvation
Baptism (By Water Submersion)
Attend A "Discover HBC" Class (:45/min Class)
Yes, we are happy to accomodate church membership transfers by letter. When filling out a membership information card, you can note this and we will handle the work with your former church of transferring your membership.
We don't require an individuals baptism to have been done in a Baptist church. We do however require the baptism to have been a "fully-submerged" water baptism as opposed to a sprinkling. Baptism by submersion is mandated by God's Word and was set by Jesus' example in the Gospels. As a church, we want to honor the example of Jesus in every way.
If you we're previously baptized in another church by sprinkling and would like to join, we will simply ask that you be fully baptized by submersion in one of our services. Our Pastoral team can work with you on this to make it a very simple process.
DISCOVER HBC is an 45-min informative class led by one of our Pastors and covers topics including our core values & beliefs, our mission, membership process, community, service opportunities and more. It's a foundational class, meant to give you a firm overview of what Harvest is all about. This class also paves the way toward church membership at Harvest.
