Purpose, Mission & Values
Below is an outline of the Worship Ministry's Purpose, Mission, Vision and Values that dictate our heart for God and passion for His glory in the area Worship.
Purpose
We want to maximize our passion for God’s greatness in our own hearts and in the world that we live in. Our church gathers to worship God on Sunday and scatters the rest of the week to worship Him wherever He has placed us. We want to equip our people to live lives of worship where Jesus Christ is put first in hearts, minds, and actions.
Mission
The worship ministry of Harvest Bible Chapel exists to help spread a passion for the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ in all things.
Values
We plan our weekend services around five key priorities:
- Bible Saturation: The content of our singing and praying and welcoming and preaching will always conform to the truth of Scripture. God’s Word is the ground of all our appeal to authority. (Isaiah 40:8)
- Reality: Our services will have the atmosphere of a radically personal encounter with the God of truth. We will avoid all pretense and posturing, all flippant, superficial frivolity. We will pursue reverence, passion, and wonder. (Psalm 96)
- Transparency: We want all stage participants to disappear and allow the greatness of God to shine through. Our trust is in our Message, not ourselves as messengers. We actively avoid shoddiness and lack of preparation as well as distracting finesse or refinement. (Psalm 115:1)
- Contemporary and Traditional: We celebrate different time periods of musical expression, not for the sake of appeasing demographics, but to show how the glory of God transcends personal taste. (Matthew 13:52)
Serving in the Worship Ministry
Here are a few steps and some things you should know before filling out a music application.
- You must be able to take honest feedback during your initial meeting with our staff.
- You must be a believer in Jesus Christ and Harvest must be your home church. No exceptions.
- We need faithful players and singers who will be willing to play at least once a month.
- We need volunteers in all areas of ministry: Weekend Adult Services, HIGHER GROUND, HARVEST STUDENTS, SMALL GROUPS, MEN'S MINISTRY, and WOMEN'S MINISTRY. We only have a certain amount of positions available in each ministry.
- Though we will place you in a certain ministry, it doesn't guarantee you will stay in that ministry. It is up to that ministry leader to decide whether you are capable and trustworthy enough to serve in that specific role.
Steps to Follow:
- Become a Believer in Jesus Christ.
- Decide if Harvest is your home church. To be considered for singing or playing an instrument in any area of the Worship Ministry you must be a Believer in Jesus Christ and Harvest must be your church home.
