Every local church has a mission, a purpose and task that God has called that local assembly to do.  That mission is to reach those near us, like us, different from us, and far from us.  In Acts 1:18, Jesus commanded His disciples that they were to be His witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost part of the earth.

We believe God has a heart for our city, Vancouver, Washington, but His heart also beats for those who live in cities, towns, and villages around the world.  Our mission also involves those “far from us.”  We believe that there are to be no geographical limitations on our vision at City Harvest Church.

City Harvest Church is currently active in ministry and support in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Thailand, Afghanistan, Guatemala, Kenya, Iran, and Iraq.  We want to fulfill our commission to minister to those “far from us” through:

1. Financial support of church plants.
2. Equipping and sending church planters.
3. Strengthening existing churches in foreign fields with Apostolic teams.
4. Sending short term missions teams to strengthen church plants in other nations.
