We Are A Church
Of Groups
We believe that life in community is an important part of growing as a
follower of Christ, and we offer several different groups to help facilitate that.
Living Out Biblical Community
And Truly Doing Life Together
Train up a child in the way he should go;
even when he is old he will not depart from it.
PROVERBS 22:6
Harvest Youth
While under lockdown we have moved back to live-streaming our youth services, so join other students in grade 6-12 online by going to the Harvest Barrie Youtube page on Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. And join our Harvest Youth Discord server to connect with us on Tuesday nights and throughout the week! Find all the info here »
Harvest Young Adults
HYA is here to help encourage young adults to get rooted in their faith as an adult. We’re a diverse group of men and women who are passionate about bringing glory to Jesus Christ in everything we do. Throughout the summer we meet every other week in the café to have a time of worship, Bible study, discussion, prayer, and accountability. We also have fun social nights, worship events and service projects throughout the year and we’d love to have you join us. Get connected by joining our Facebook group, following us on Instagram, or contact Pastor Dwayne to find out more information and to connect with others in the group.
Biblical Soul Care
Biblical Soul Care (BSC) is the care and counselling ministry of Harvest Bible Chapel. We want to restore your hope and dignity in difficult situations and support your growth and healing in all areas of your life.
Gospel-centred counselling involves one-on-one conversations designed to re-orient our thinking along the truths of the Bible by exploring the habits and experiences that have shaped how we think and act. Whether it’s a life stage, transition, trial or relationship, sometimes our circumstances can seem overwhelming. We want to come alongside you with practical help, tools and strategies that will keep you focused on God and becoming more Christ-like.
Biblical Soul Care is not just a ministry of Harvest, it’s part of who we are. Aside from more formal settings with trained gospel-centred counsellors, it happens whenever we listen with humility and curiosity, offer care and support and apply biblical wisdom and knowledge to people’s situations. Our desire is to help carry your burdens (Galatians 6:1-2; James 1:2-5), in whatever way is most comfortable for you, whether that’s connecting with a trusted friend, mentoring, one of our Hope Groups or meeting with a counsellor.
If you want to build skills in walking alongside others in this way, in your friendships or as a group leader, we have many training opportunities to help you build skills to caring well for others.

COVID-19 PANDEMIC RESOURCES
After nearly a year of lockdowns and restrictions due to COVID-19, the conversation has finally turned to mental health. This is the frontline battle that we’re actively engaged in as a church every day of the week and that has been pushed to the side over these months. The Word of God has a lot to say about our mental health, and the inter-connectedness between our spiritual life and our mental and emotional well-being is indisputable.
Watch our panel discussion from January 10, 2021.

Ministry Partnerships
The mandate of the church and each believer is to make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). Primarily that works out as we each share the good news of Jesus Christ with boldness. In order to have some “reach” that extends beyond Barrie and Simcoe County in the fulfillment of this mandate, Harvest forms partnerships with individuals and ministries that are getting the job done.
Here are the principles we follow in determining which partnerships we form:
pray – give – go
