To fulfill the Great Commission by partnering with Vertically focused churches both regionally and internationally, establishing our own church plant, and by sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ boldly as we invite those around us to experience all that God is doing in and through Harvest.
LOCAL
POP UP PANTRY
We love partnering together with other local churches and organizations to provide a monthly Pop Up Pantry at Tyler Heights Elementary School. This is one tangible way that we can serve others with the love of Jesus and ensure that people in our community have access to the food and other essential items that they need right now. You can be involved in this ministry by donating needed items or by helping at one of the Pop Up Pantry events. For more information, please see Tyler Atwell or Ellie Nypaver, or email info@harvestannapolis.org.
WELLSPRING LIFE MINISTRY
We value all life at Harvest, and we believe firmly that God is the author and creator of all life in His image, and that life begins at conception. It is our privilege to partner with and support Wellspring Life Ministry and their various locations throughout the greater Annapolis area to offer Gospel-centered and compassionate care through things like free medical services, options counseling, education, and community referrals to all women and families without judgment.

GREAT COMMISSION COLLECTIVE
We love being a part of the church planting network called the Great Commission Collective (GCC) where we partner together to plant and strengthen churches and multiply disciples just like we see the church in Acts doing. The GCC is an international family of churches and strategic partners that exist to glorify God by planting, strengthening, and multiplying Great Commission Churches around the world. At Harvest, we partner closely, frequently, and directly with several other GCC churches on the East Coast to plant and strengthen churches regionally together with our sending church, Mission Church in Lancaster, PA, serving as our regional hub.
We believe that God’s glory leads God’s people on God’s mission, and that worshiping churches are sending churches committed to invading the darkness of the world with the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As a GCC Church we are committed to fervent prayer, bold preaching, passionate worship, purposeful disciple-making, courageous evangelism, and strategic church planting all for the glory of God. For more information on the GCC, please visit: www.gccollective.org.
GlobAL
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
We are committed to planting churches and making disciples of all nations at Harvest through strategic partnerships. One of our strategic Gospel partners is the IBC church network of churches in Santiago, Dominican Republic, and specifically Pastor Gumer and his wife Mary along with the Jacagua Christian School. We take an annual summer missions trip to the Dominican Republic to lead a pastors conference to train and equip the local pastors and church leaders, do needed projects at the Jacagua Christian school, run a Vacation Bible School for several hundred children in the neighborhoods, and encourage and equip the local churches. In October, 2022, we had the privilege to partner together with Pastor Gumer, Dan Woodring (a missionary to Santiago), and the other local churches and pastors to plant a new church in the Santiago neighborhood of Hato Mayor. God is moving powerfully He is saving lives and transforming a community through this new church plant. We are thrilled and excited to serve and partner together with our brothers and sisters in the Dominican Republic to advance God’s Kingdom and build His church. For more information on how you can be involved or to express interest in a future DR Mission trip, please email: info@harvestannapolis.org.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
We are committed to sharing the gospel with people of all ages in all places throughout the world including some very hard to reach places. We love to partner each year with Operation Christmas Child to send Christmas gifts to kids throughout the world who would not otherwise receive them and to also share the greatest gift of all, the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ, with them.
