Harvest Church

What Harvest Church does

Harvest Church is a non-denominational evangelical Christian church founded in 2007 in Carmel, Indiana, with a mission to make disciples of all nations. It operates two physical campuses — the flagship Carmel location at 14550 River Road (Sunday services at 9am and 11am) and a multi-site Westfield location at Monon Trail Elementary (Sunday service at 10am) — supplemented by a Ministry Center in Noblesville housing its Church Planting Residency program. The church runs a structured Pathway discipleship pipeline (Start Here → Engage → Say Yes Sunday → Covenant Membership) and an ecosystem of sub-brand ministries including Harvest Kids, Harvest Students, Life Groups, D-Groups, Equip, Freedom Groups, Women's Ministry, Foster & Adoption, Soul Care biblical counseling, and global missions.

Its product portfolio is delivered through a third-party technology stack: Squarespace powers the main website (harvestindy.org), Church Center handles registrations, giving, and member management, online.church enables virtual worship, and sermon content is distributed via YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. The church maintains no proprietary technology, patents, or AI capabilities. Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary tithes and offerings, including a designated Great Commission Offering for missions and church planting; no fees are charged for any service.

Its primary growth engine is church planting: Harvest has planted six daughter churches since 2007 (Tampa Bay 2014, Anderson 2019, Los Angeles 2019/closed 2021, Indianapolis 2023x2, Speedway 2025) and operates a formal Church Planting Residency program in partnership with Send Network of the North American Mission Board and the International Mission Board. The organization also maintains international mission partnerships spanning Papua New Guinea, South Asia, the Dominican Republic, Scotland, and South Africa. Governance is via an elder board, and the entity is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit with no parent company or external investors.
