TRACKS
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuing the Great Commission: |
|
|
At Harvest, the mission of the Church is Missions...and the mission of Missions Is the Church. Here the Great Commission becomes intensely practical through behind-the-scenes exposure to Harvest Global Missions and Local Compassion Ministries. Learn how Harvest churches are partnering to leverage the strengths of the whole and to accelerate the building of His Church in these critical last days.
|
|
|
Fixing Your Focus for Maximum Impact: |
|
|
From the opening song to the closing “Amen,” what is your worship service driving toward? Is there a focused intentionality behind every element of every service that aligns with the goal of an encounter with the living God? And is every key leader on that page? From greeting, to worship, to announcements, to preaching, to prayer, to multi-media—glean the practicals distilled from twenty years of ministry that can help create an atmosphere of high impact at your weekend services.
|
|
|
Zeroing In on Dynamic Discipleship: |
|
|
Robust small groups breathe life into every other facet of a church—in fact, they’re the very core of our discipleship model at Harvest Bible Chapel. Learn why and how to develop, implement, and/or re-tool your own healthy, dynamic and effective Small Group Ministry.
|
|
|
Making Harvest Their Home: |
|
|
Do you offer a clear path for people to begin and grow in healthy relationships within your church body—and do they know what that path is? Lay hold of an intentional plan to help move people not just into membership, but into transformed lives that Worship, Walk with, and Work for Christ.
|
|
|
Equipping the Faithful Effectively: |
|
|
Fruitful ministry requires the cultivation and multiplication of godly leaders. Strengthen your ability to: identify elders and ministry leaders; build into a core team or leaders at multiple levels; and mature your own leadership skills under the teaching of highly effective and experienced Harvest staff and elders.
|
|
|
Caring for Souls (and Changing Their Lives): |
|
|
Authentic believers have a hope that will never disappoint and access to everything pertaining to life and godliness. Yet the church continues to send people in crisis to counselors that offer humanistic help instead of heart transformation! Shift this paradigm by learning to counsel from the life-changing truths of the Bible...and bring authentic hope to your sphere of ministry influence.
|
|
|
Living and Leveraging God’s Design: |
|
|
Ladies, refresh your calling to ministry opportunities the Lord has uniquely designed women to fulfill. Dive into the how-to’s of building and growing a flourishing ministry to women that focuses on discipleship, leader development, small groups, motherhood, and counseling issues in churches of varying sizes and stages of development.
|
|
|
Helping Kids Take Higher Ground: |
|
|
From the basics of establishing a Children’s Ministry, to teaching methods and Harvest curriculum (available Fall of 2010!), to staffing, security and volunteer matters, these workshops address aspects and issues that have impact on churches across the spectrum.
|
|
|
Creating Cross-Centered Connections: |
|
|
Effectively connecting students with the power of Christ can change their lives—and reverberate through their families for eternity. Learn how to build deeper connections with your middle and high school youth, while strengthening not only their Worship, but their Walk (relationships at home, at school) and Work (plugging into serving roles within the church) for Christ, to galvanize their faith and equip this next generation of ambassadors.
|
|
|
Holding Fast the Faithful Word: |
|
|
We’ll turn to the Book for the bottom line on the biblical role and responsibilities of elders, then work that out with practical applications for various church size-settings. Appropriate use of Scripture toward conflict resolution and discipline, restoring of relationships, honoring the Lord and protecting the bride of Christ are just a sampling of the topics being brought forth by well-versed elders of several Harvest churches.
