Our Values & Purpose
Our Vision
What the world will be like when God’s kingdom comes in us and through us.
A society free from rejection, failure and loneliness. Where everyone can fulfil their destiny, whatever their past. Where the poor prosper and the sick are healed. Where the broken hearted are restored and the bound go free. Where marriages are rewarding and families bring out the best in one another. Where people from every nation and class live in harmony and enjoy life to the full.

Family & Marriage
When God was planning the world, He started with a family. We know that strong, loving families form the bedrock of a great church. We seek to bring healing to the broken and strengthen the strong.
Marriages – at the heart of every strong family is a strong marriage. We work with couples to restore and refresh their relationships. We provide marriage preparation, we run quarterly marriage workshops and we have a team who support people in crisis. Please contact us at office@harvestchurch.org.uk for more information.
Raising children – as parents, we play a vital role in the development of our children. Although we can’t be perfect, we can work hard to be our best. We run regular parenting sessions to helps mums and dads raise strong, happy and confident young people.
Helping hands – we help families with children with disabilities by offering extra support on Sundays so that carers can receive from the Word safe in the knowledge that their children are in good hands.
