Current Sermon Series:
Core Christianity

For over 500 years the core truths of the Christian gospel have been distilled into 5 essential statements: salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, to the glory of God alone. Often referred to as the “5 Solas” (Latin for “alone”), these statements keep us anchored in the Biblical gospel. This Fall at Harvest, we’ll drop our anchor in these historic waters for 5 Sundays and refresh ourselves in the core truths of our faith.

Wednesdays, September 10 - November 5, 2025
6:30 - 8:30 PM in room 202

The book of Judges is full of chaos, flawed leaders, and repeated cycles of failure… yet through it all, God’s faithfulness shines. In this study, we’ll see how God works in the middle of the mess to call His people back to Himself, and how His grace speaks into our lives today.

Christianity Explored

Sundays beginning September 28, 2025
Room 201
8:00-9:30 am

What’s the best news you’ve ever heard?
For Christians, that’s going to include the Gospel message, simple and clear enough that a child can understand and respond to it, yet complex and nuanced enough that people can study it for a lifetime without grasping everything there is to know.   With that in mind, Harvest is starting a new discussion group this September to help anyone gain a clearer picture of what the Bible tells us about ourselves, God, Christianity – and even the Bible itself.

Would you like more information, or have questions?  Are you already intrigued?  Use the link to open up an email conversation.  And, because this is for those at any point in their discovery of Christianity, think about whether there’s someone you know who might be interested in something like this.

Volunteers Needed for ESL Program

God has resettled refugees from a closed access nation in our community. These are  folks who might never hear of Jesus in their home countries and are now among us! Christian volunteers from area churches, including several from Harvest, staff the Oasis ESL Program (English as a Second Language) in Beaverton, now swamped with enrollment requests!

Will you prayerfully consider engaging in this outreach one to three mornings weekly, starting September 29? Childcare and providing transportation are greatest needs, though there are many ways to be involved.

Please text Darleen Armstrong for more information (503-880-2417) or email darleenarm@protonmail.com
Or contact the Oasis Program Director, Elizabeth Jones at elizabeth@pdxfriendsofrefugees.com.

Women's Fall Retreat  
Living Out Loud: The Joy  of Faith Expressed 

October 10 -12, 2025

This intimate retreat of fewer than a dozen women offers a rare chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and be renewed the beauty of God's creation and the fellowship of sisters in Christ. Together this weekend, we'll explore how God calls us to place our faith in Him for both the large and small moments of our lives.
