Harvest Mission Community Church

What Harvest Mission Community Church does

Harvest Mission Community Church (HMCC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious organization founded in 1996 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, on the University of Michigan campus, with an initial group of eight people. Its mission is to operate as a 1st-century-style church in the 21st century, organized around Acts 2:42-47 principles of evangelism, exaltation, edification, education, and extension. HMCC is led by Lead Pastor Rev. Pete Dahlem and Associate Pastor Joshua Yang, with elders Dave Yon and Seong Park providing governance; the organization reports 1-10 employees and is governed by an elder board rather than shareholders.

HMCC delivers its ministry through a Sunday celebration at the Transformation Center (1001 E Huron St, Ann Arbor) plus a portfolio of life-stage-specific programs: Covenant (married couples), Focus (single adults), Impact (graduate students), Access (undergraduates, registered as an MSA student organization at U-M), Global Access (international students), Latitude/Velocity (high school and middle school youth, expanded beyond Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti, Saline, Northville, and Novi), and Building Blocks (children ages 6 months to 5th grade). The core community mechanism is Life Groups organized by life stage, supplemented by Transformation Classes, Ministry Teams for volunteer service, and a Missions Program with short-term trips to Indonesia, Singapore, Chile, Honduras, Peru, Jordan, and domestic cities such as Detroit, Chicago, and Austin. HMCC operates a wholly-owned adjacent subsidiary, Harvest Mission International (HMI), focused on church planting in cities with viable college campuses.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary member contributions across three streams: tithes and offerings, online giving via Church Center (with disclosed processing fees of 2.2% + $0.30 for cards and $0.25 for ACH), and mail-in giving to 928 E Ann St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104. The organization is not investment-bearing: it does not disclose revenue, has no funding rounds, and is a private nonprofit with no parent company. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, acquiring members through Life Groups, Experiencing Membership classes, church-wide prayer gatherings, retreats, and a connect questionnaire, with digital reach via a website, YouTube live stream, Instagram and Facebook accounts (@hmcc_aa), a Spotify podcast, and a RightNow Media member-benefit partnership providing access to a video Bible-study library.

Direct peers

• InterVarsity Christian Fellowship: National campus ministry organization with active chapters at the University of Michigan, directly competing with HMCC's Access undergraduate ministry for the same student population with similar small-group Bible study models.
• Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ): Large-scale interdenominational campus ministry present at U-M, competing for student believers and using small-group community models closely parallel to HMCC's Life Groups.
• Chi Alpha (Assemblies of God campus ministry): Pentecostal campus ministry with established U-M presence, competing for the same undergraduate and graduate student demographic through small groups, retreats, and discipleship programming similar to HMCC.
• The Navigators: International discipleship-focused ministry with U-M outreach, comparable to HMCC in its emphasis on multiplying disciples and using life-stage small groups among college students.
• Young Life: Youth-focused ministry reaching middle and high school students (Latitudes/Velocity's exact demographic) in the Ann Arbor area, providing a comparable volunteer-driven, relational outreach model.

Regional players

• St. Andrew's Catholic Church (Ann Arbor): Large Ann Arbor church with extensive U-M student ministry, offering an alternative faith community in the same geography and serving overlapping graduate and undergraduate populations.
