Declaring and living lives that display God as our ultimate treasure is no small thing. It is the goal of creation, the command of all human activity, the highest call of music, the invincible purpose of Christ's return, and will be the ultimate declaration of all humanity.
As Harvest Bible Fellowship (HBF) continues to educate pastors from around the world, we remain passionate about equipping leaders as they build the church into a dwelling place for God by His Spirit. (Ephesians 2:19-22, Matthew 16:18)
We had the joy of hosting three worship leaders from the Metanoia church plant in Arad, Romania. Mihai, Silviu, and Darius spent two weeks with us at HBF. These men are key leaders in the Worship Ministry of Arad and are living out their passion to engage the church for God and live for Jesus Christ in heart, mind, and action.

Consider the significance of our worship...
Worship encompasses all the acts of our hearts, minds, and bodies that express the infinite worth of God. This is made more specific in Harvest worship services, as we set before the body of Christ several priorities:
- Bible Saturation God’s Word is the ground of all our appeal to authority. We strive to always conform the content of our singing and praying and welcoming and preaching to the truth of Scripture. (Isaiah 40:8)
- Head and Heart Our services seek after clear thinking about spiritual things, and kindling hearts with deep, strong, real emotions towards God with these truths. (Matthew 22:37)
- Reality Our intention is to foster a radical and personal encounter with the God of truth as we pursue Him together with reverence, passion, and wonder. (Psalm 96)
- Transparency We seek to allow the greatness of God to shine through in our worship. Our trust is in our message, not ourselves as messengers, as we bring our best and highest to our holy King. (Psalm 115:1)
- Comtemporary and Traditional Harvest celebrates different eras of musical expression because the glory of God transcends time and personal preference. (Matthew 13:52)
"For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:9-11).
