Many of the Core Team leaders in Harvest Alliance have worked together in a variety of settings for many years. Some were formerly part of other networks, denominations, or affiliations, while others worked together on staff at churches or ministries. Some were part of church plants from churches or attended ministry schools together. If there is one common thread it is a shared value for revival and the pursuit of remaining sensitive to and active in what we recognize as the work of the Holy Spirit in our day. This reflects the “Spirit” part of being a ‘Word and Spirit’ relational and apostolic family of local churches and ministries.

Another commonality among our leaders and members is a strong adherence to the authority of Scripture and a tenacious defense of the teachings of the Bible while simultaneously recognizing and even celebrating a diversity of theological emphasis and traditions. This reflects the “Word” aspect of our relational and apostolic family.

The origin of Harvest Alliance goes back several decades in that the founders along with many of the member churches and ministries, were impacted significantly through what is recognized as a recent outpouring of the Holy Spirit that began in the mid 1990’s and continues to this day. This Revival, or outpouring, or renewal, was not contained to any one location but spread quickly around the world. To name a particular location or ministry associated with the revival may be detrimental to understanding what unites us, in that so many diverse ministries, often completely unassociated, were impacted by the move of God.

Harvest Alliance seeks to recognize our heritage but focuses on what God is doing now, and aims to be diligent to pursue what God has called us to do and become in our day.
