Thanks so much for your desire to serve at Harvest. Serving in the ministries here helps to grow our church and give back what the Lord has given to us.
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 4:10-11)

Biblical Soul Care Volunteer
Biblical Soul Care is not just a ministry of Harvest, it’s part of who we are. Aside from more formal settings with trained gospel-centred pastoral and lay counsellors, it happens whenever we listen with humility and curiosity, offer care and support and apply biblical wisdom and knowledge to people’s situations. If you would like training in caring for others well, sign up for our Soul Care Skills Course or contact us for more information. You can also get involved by becoming an event volunteer to help us with set up and promotion of conferences and training events.
