Our vision is to Encounter God, Build Community, and Serve our City, always seen through the lens of our mission: To go and make disciples!<\/p>

We\u00a0Encounter God<\/strong>\u00a0through worship, prayer, and His Word, expecting Him to come through in supernatural and natural ways through His Gifts of the Spirit, such as prophecy, teaching, healing, and helping.<\/p>

We\u00a0Build Community<\/strong>\u00a0through time spent together. This certainly includes worshiping God together on Sunday mornings, but it also includes time spent praying together, eating together, serving together, and playing together.<\/p>

We\u00a0Serve Our City\u00a0<\/strong>by looking for sustainable ways to care for people in our city. For us at this time, this means serving the teachers, staff, and families at our adopted school: Blackfoot Charter.<\/em> Ask Pastor Paul or Shari how we have been doing so, and how you can get involved.<\/p>

At Harvest Foursquare, we want to make your visit a great one \u2013 easy, straightforward, and uncomplicated. We are intentionally \u201cuser-friendly\u201d for everyone regardless of his or her background. So no matter your beliefs, political persuasion, or lifestyle \u2013 we want you to feel welcomed and loved!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

When you visit Harvest Foursquare, our goal is that you would feel welcomed without feeling smothered. Our gathering lasts about 90 minutes. We worship God with a mix of older and newer\u00a0songs. In addition, we encourage people to express their love for God in a variety\u00a0of ways \u2013 vocally, raising our hands, clapping, and even sitting down and being still while others worship around you. Finally, we have a Biblical message that uses media, humor, drama, music and story, all with the goal of knowing Jesus and becoming more like Him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
