Believers who invest their hearts, time, families and finances in the building of a local Church deserve to have confidence in church leadership. People are looking for accountable leaders who conduct themselves with integrity and honesty when making decisions that affect their lives. In that regard, Harvest Church is:

...Guided By Elders

"Elders" refers to the pastoral leadership of Harvest Church. The elders are charged with collectively determining the will of God for our church and empowering the lead pastor with the authority to lead Harvest into God's will.

Harvest Church also has non-staff leaders. These leaders work together with the Lead Pastor and church elders to promote a positive spiritual climate within the church body.

They assume the responsibility of providing a prayer shield for the members, protecting the integrity of the church, and representing the church to the community.

...Strengthened and Supported by Others

Harvest Church is associated with and under the spiritual covering of Bethel Leaders Network (BLN) as well as Ministers Fellowship International (MFI). BLN is Bethel Church's relational network of revival leaders. It exists to connect and encourage revivalists everywhere in every type of career or vocation to see the Kingdom of God advance. MFI is a fellowship of ministries with like vision and doctrine who voluntarily associate themselves with other ministries for the purpose of fellowship, encouragement, vision, equipping, and accountability.

MFI does not exert any legal or operating control over Harvest Church. However, it does provide spiritual counsel, fellowship and direction to the lead pastor and elders when requested. If there is an issue that the elders of Harvest cannot resolve, counsel and support would be requested and MFI would send leaders to help resolve the issue.

...Audited

"A tithe (tenth) of everything {you produce} belongs to the Lord; it is holy to the Lord."
Leviticus 27:30 NIV

At Harvest Church we practice tithing for the support of Christ's Body, the church, as God commands. We recognize that giving 10% of our income is the Biblical standard of giving.

Many people love to give to God, and it is important to have confidence in the methods and purposes used by organizations to which they give. KPM Accounting and Management Solutions, based in San Francisco, CA, is our accounting and tax firm. KPM provides counsel to the lead pastor and elders on accounting, financial and tax matters of the church. In keeping with our covenant with the bank, an annual audit of Harvest Church finances is conducted and reported. A yearly summary of income and expenses is shared with the congregation.
