ABOUT OUR LEADERSHIP

At Harvest Life, we believe leaders are called by God to lead, be front line supporters and the driving workforce that carries out the mission and vision of the church. As a part of our Leadership Program, we provide an environment where our leaders can learn, grow and develop. They are charged to “walk worthy of their vocation” and carry out specific duties, responsibilities and operations that position them to make a greater Kingdom impact at Harvest Life.
