1. What are some of the distinctives of Harvest of Harmony Church?
Harvest of Harmony Internationa l Church, Inc. is a non-denominational, multi-cultural, New Testament fellowship Church in accordance with Acts 2:42. Our primary mission of discipleship and training of individuals is to equip them to fulfill the purpose of God, which is predicated upon salvation, Christian maturity, Christian prosperity and a commitment to exemplify Christian character in every aspect of their lives. We are a rapidly growing multi-ethnic congregation. It is Head quartered in the historic China-town Community and Dr. Kelvin Morgan serves as the Senior Pastor. Harvest of Harmony International is strategically located as a beacon of light and hope in the heart of Fresno, California.

2. How can I join Harvest of Harmony Church?
You can join by one of four ways:
a. Baptism – Publicly professing your faith in Christ as your Lord and Savior during a worship service. Then, following Jesus’ example (Matt. 3) and in obedience to his command (Matt. 28:19), being baptized by immersion.
b. Transfer of Letter - Presenting yourself for membership during a worship service, having made a profession of faith and being a member of a sister Baptist congregation.
c. Statement of Faith - Presenting yourself for membership during a worship service, coming from a church of another denomination, (or having no current active church membership), and being a professing Christian who has, at some time, been baptized by immersion, sprinkling, or pouring.
d. Watchcare – Presenting yourself for membership during a worship service, being a professing Christian who has, at some time, been baptized by immersion, sprinkling, or pouring, and wishing to become a formal part of this church without transferring your membership from another church. Watchcare membership is offered to temporary residents (ex., college students) who wish to maintain their membership at their home church but who wish to affiliate with our church in a more formal way than as “visitor.” (Watchcare members may not be church officers or vote in church business meetings.)
All new and prospective members are encouraged to participate in our New and Prospective Members Orientation Class, but this is not a requirement for membership. Prospective members will often talk with the pastor before joining.

3. What are your worship services like?
We have three very similar hour long services (8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., & 6:00 p.m.). All services are in style with scripture readings, hymns, organ and piano, special music and a choir. We have both liturgical and creative elements in our worship. Our pastor preaches twenty minute biblically-based sermons, and normally wears a suit, not a robe. Most participants “dress up” for these services, but all are welcome and comfortable, however they come. At the end of our services we always offer an invitation to Christian discipleship and church membership. We have Communion the first Sunday of the month in all services, on Maundy Thursday and Christmas Eve (Wafers free of the following are available: gluten, wheat, dairy, corn and soy.)

4. What is Sunday School like?
Sunday School Bible study groups are very central to the way we “do church” at Harvest of Harmony. Sunday School is not just for children at our church. We actually have many more adults attending than children and youth. Our children and youth classes are age-graded. Most of our adult classes are coed, and most class members are in the same age range. We use a variety of curricula, but all of our classes are Bible studies. Through these groups we also do much of our outreach, fellowship, care giving and mission activities. Most active members at Harvest of Harmony are also active in Sunday School.
