We are looking for individuals with a heart for discipleship to counsel those who make decisions to follow Christ.
What to expect:
The New Believer Follow-up Ministry comes alongside new believers by encouraging, directing, and teaching, by example, how to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord
After each church service, Follow-Up Counselors serve as “five-minute friends,” meeting with those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. In the following days and weeks, Follow-Up Counselors will be encouraged to call, email, text, or meet with these new Christians to help further cultivate their life in Christ.
What do our Volunteers say about Harvest’s New Believer Follow-up Ministry:
“Lives are changed every week. People come to know Jesus, and we get to be the first people to welcome them into the family of God. It’s so cool to think that some people head to church on a random Sunday, and little do they know that their lives will be changed forever! Follow-Up has stretched me outside my comfort zone and taught me what it looks like to be the hands and feet of Jesus, coming alongside others. I always look forward to serving here each Sunday!”
Hours Expected:
Estimated 15-20 minutes following service.
Church Attendance:
Due to the sensitivity of sharing with a new believer, there is a face-to-face interview process to ensure that volunteers understand and can communicate Harvest’s beliefs and the gospel to a new believer.

What to expect:
Through God and His Word, we are learning and committing to a powerful prayer life that will impact us personally and the lives around us. We have the opportunity to intercede on behalf of the church and congregation to pray over the requests of our brothers and sisters and pray for our pastors, city, state, and nation. As we gather together, we worship, study God’s Word, and pray while enjoying fellowship with others.
What do our Volunteers say about the Harvest Prayer Team:
“If you’ve never spent much time praying in a group, it can be intimidating for some. But God has chosen prayer as our method of communicating with Him, so when we gather together in His name and pray and seek His face, we find grace and mercy to help others in times of need. I’m so humbled to be on the Prayer Team and always eager to receive the weekly prayer journal. Seeing all the requests that come in weekly reminds me of the needs and situations that others are going through, and although I can’t always help physically, I can petition their requests in prayer.”
Hours expected:
Estimated 30 minutes to 1 hour per service shift.

"Calling first-time visitors is a really sweet ministry. Through the calls, we get to pray with these individuals and answer any questions they may have. Although I was really nervous initially, I love making these calls and feel refreshed as I call those who visited Harvest for the first time. I connect with people on a deeper level and get to know the person behind the name."
