Pastors and Worship Leaders
As pastors and church staff, we are here to connect with you, care for you, and help you develop your relationship with Jesus Christ. That means being available to listen to, talk with, pray for, and worship beside you. It means guiding those who seek truth and transformation to the One who freely gives those things. And it means being present to meet the spiritual needs of people wherever they are—whether in church, homes, hospital beds, prison cells, office buildings, coffee houses, or on the streets.

Rick Schutte Associate Pastor
I was raised in a middle class family, with loving parents. Life was very good and full of hope until tragedy struck. My mom died when I was 12. This sent our family into a tail spin. It was a hard adjustment for all of us. A few years after her death, trying to find my way, I fell into drug and alcohol abuse. This only made matters worse. When I was 22 I wanted a fresh start so I moved to California and met my wife to be. Sharon brought me to Harvest one Sunday and we both went forward to receive Christ at an invitation given by Pastor Greg. Shortly thereafter we married. Sharon and I have been going to Harvest since that time, raising our children in this church, without a moment of regret. We started serving in the Children's Ministry here, eventually that led to me serving as a deacon, then an Elder, and since 1996 I have served here as a pastor. It is our hope that if anyone reads this testimony and is struggling with sin, Jesus is the way, He is the truth, and He is life! Give your heart to Him and serve Him, you won't regret it!
