DISCIPLESHIP

At Harvest, our mission is to glorify God through the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) in the spirit of the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-39). In other words, we want to make and mature disciples of Jesus Christ by loving God and loving others.

Starting this Fall, there are two primary environments designed to help you grow in your walk with Christ and connect with others:

• Gospel Communities - focus on discipleship through life-on-life community
• Discipleship Groups - focus on discipleship through intentional spiritual practices

Both are rooted in Scripture, centered on Jesus, and focused on helping you grow as a disciple, but through different approaches.

Gospel Communities are relational groups where discipleship happens through shared life together. Centered on the gospel and modeled after the fellowship of the early church in Acts 2, these groups create space to grow with Jesus through shared meals, prayer, spiritual conversations, care for one another, and serving together in everyday life.

Each Gospel Community is unique in its format, rhythms, and demographics, but all are built around fellowship, growth, care, prayer, and service. Our desire is that these groups would help people be known, encouraged, and strengthened as they follow Christ together.

Discipleship Groups, or D-Groups, are smaller groups of 3–5 people of the same gender designed to help believers grow in spiritual maturity through consistent, intentional rhythms with Jesus. Meeting weekly, D-Groups focus on Scripture, prayer, evangelism, obedience, encouragement, and accountability as participants pursue Christ together in everyday life.

Rooted in passages like Colossians 1:9–10, D-Groups are intended to help believers grow in their knowledge & love of God and develop steady, Christ-centered habits that lead to deeper spiritual growth and lasting transformation.
