Ministry Apprentice; Campuses

Summary of Primary Purpose

Harvest desires to prepare pastors and ministry leaders for the work of ministry through the church for the world. The purpose of the Harvest Apprenticeship Program is to give proper ministry exposure and practice while apprentices concurrently mature in faith:
Knowledge, Character, and Ministry Skill.

This program takes the Apprentice through practical ministry responsibilities connected to their ministry areas at Harvest Bible Chapel and biblical and theological study to mature in faith and prepare for a lifetime of growth, supporting holistic discipleship.

In keeping with the objective of ministry exposure and practice within the Harvest community, the ministry placement will vary depending on the apprentice’s capacity and interests and the church’s needs. We strive to provide ministry opportunities that align well with experience as well as stretch and strengthen an apprentice’s ministry capacity and skills.
