Harvest Stories
Meet Celeste! Attending Harvest since 1990 with her entire family, they quickly started serving in the church. But after some time, Celeste began to search for community elsewhere. Outside of the church, she had friends, she was well liked, and had her own platform—only to find it was the emptiest time of her life. But her church family was praying her, loving her, caring about her wellbeing. Hear her story of restoration, reconnecting, and plugging back in to her Harvest family.
Are you doing your part to make Harvest your home? Jeffery and Kayla Butler want to encourage you to not just attend, but to take that next step and plug in like they did. It was when they got involved that God blessed them abundantly. Harvest became a community—a family to them. They love their church and when you plug in, you will too!

"There are times in life when you face something and the pain is so severe it’s hard to speak about it...”
