Harvest Youth is for students grades 6-12 and is a community where you can really be yourself!
Harvest Youth will help students grades 6-12 find a place where they belong, discover what they believe, encourage them to grow closer to each other and to God, and give them opportunities to serve.
WEEKLY SCHEDULE - Sundays, 5-7 pm
Harvest Youth meets weekly on Sunday evenings from 5-7 pm. Each meeting starts with a variety of games before enjoying dinner together. Dinner is free for everyone to enjoy! After dinner, we have a large group lesson before breaking into two small groups (middle and high school) for further discussion. Our night will end at 7:00 pm.
Meal Volunteers
Each week the youth will share a meal together during our youth group time. Gathering over food draws us closer together and allows us to deepen our friendships. Volunteers are needed each week to make (or bring) the food to Harvest by 5:30pm for the youth to enjoy.
If you would like to be reimbursed for the food you purchase, please save your receipts and turn them into Hannah Stelter.
Stay Informed
Harvest Youth and friends are invited to register for the Harvest Youth group so we can keep you updated on important information and upcoming events. Registration is only required once, not weekly to attend.
Upcoming Events
All Harvest Youth & friends (6th-12th grade) are invited to participate in our second Dodgeball Tournament! Teams can be created ahead of time or on the day of the tournament. Prizes will be awarded for the winners.
The tournament will take place from 5-7pm on April 28th and a free dinner is provided.
Pre-registration is required by April 26th.

We're headed back to camp! Warren Willis Camp (WWC) is a United Methodist overnight camp for entering 4th - graduated high school seniors in Fruitland Park. This is a fun and memorable experience where students will participate in a variety of activities (including swimming, yoga, large group games, and more), nightly worship, engaging small group discussions, and more!
We are going week 5 which is July 15-20. WWC offers tiered pricing as well as scholarships to help cover the cost of the week. Harvest will provide transportation to and from WWC.
Please click here to visit their website to register for summer camp and apply for a scholarship through WWC. They are in the process of updating their website, so if it doesn't load right away, wait a little bit and try again. You can also call the camp office at 352-787-4345.
The Warren Willis Camp scholarship application is due by April 1.
