WELCOME TO CONGREGATIONAL CARE AT HARVEST CHURCH
At Harvest Church, we believe care is not just a ministry—it’s the heart of the Church. Whether you're walking through grief, relational strain, spiritual battles, or celebrating a new beginning, the Congregational Care ministry is here to walk with you in love, prayer, and practical support. At the heart of our Congregational Care ministry is a desire to shepherd God's people in a loving, Christ-centered way. We minister to one another and to those who are hurting and in need.
This ministry extends the love, compassion, and presence of Christ through meaningful relationships, trusted support systems, and practical ways to both receive and offer care.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

PRAYER
Prayer is happening at Harvest all the time — from the lobby to the kitchen, from the classrooms to the Worship Center and the office, you will see people stopping to pray for one another. “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” James 5:16 | “Never stop praying.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Before each Sunday morning worship service, our prayer team and members of our congregation meet in at the altar about 10 minutes prior to the service in the Worship Center to pray for the service and that all who come will hear the Truth and respond. Everyone is invited to come pray!
HERE ARE SOME SPECIFIC WAYS TO RECEIVE PRAYER AT HARVEST:
At the Altar: If you have a specific need, you are encouraged to come to the altar at the end of a service, where prayer team members or a pastor can pray with you, or you can kneel and pray alone.
On your Communication Card: Write out your prayer need on the bottom of a communication card (in the seat pockets). You have the option of marking your request "For Pastors Only" which is sent only to the pastors for prayer and possible followup or "For Churchwide Prayer" which is sent to prayer teams.
In Your Seat: Look for someone near you wearing a permanent name tag and ask, "Would you find someone who could pray with me?" They will be glad to go get someone who would love to pray for you right where you are, so don’t hesitate to ask.
By Phone or Email: Leave a prayer request anytime with the office by calling 334.702.6555 or emailing ccare@harvestdothan.com. For staff and pastor email addresses, visit our staff page HERE.
By Appointment: For more involved needs, call 334.702.6555 during our office hours (Monday-Thursday, 9am-3pm) and ask to speak with a pastor. If you call after hours, leave a message with your request and your phone number. We will set up an appointment with you to meet with a pastor for prayer.
