Build the Next Generation. Strengthen the Family. Serve the Kingdom.

Harvest Church of God is a growing, multigenerational church in Reisterstown, Maryland, seeking a passionate Family Pastor to help us minister effectively to children, youth, and their families.

We believe children and teenagers are not merely the church of tomorrow—they are an important part of the church today.
