"Harvest"

In calling ourselves The Harvest Network, we chose to emphasize two things. 

First, Scripture tell us: "Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9:35-38

So our name reminds us of our calling as workers in God's kingdom, entrusted with a duty to go out sharing the Gospel and making disciples of all peoples.

Second, we also are aware of our churches' unique placement - which is rural and semi-rural. So our name speaks to the reality our congregations live on a daily basis. Our Vision Statement speaks into this reality: "We believe God longs to see vibrant, thriving Rural Churches impacting the communities and contexts to which they are called in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, and for His Kingdom, through Intentional Prayer, Bold Evangelism, Radical Discipleship, and Humble Service to bring Spiritual Revival to rural communities in North America."
