CONFERENCES | TEAM | BAND

Great To Meet You!

Harvest is comprised of team members from the region who serve with us during events. Not every team member serves for each ministry event, so if you’ve seen Harvest and then the next time the group has changed, that’s why! If you’d like to join the ministry, connect here.

To get a full list of team members and past events, visit the Harvest Chronicles.
