White Harvest is an annual effort of the members of North Main to reach out to the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Since 2003 our members have committed to going “over and above” the regular budgeted amount for mission works. The name stems from John 4:35 where Jesus told His disciples: “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!”
Our White Harvest Sunday is always the first Sunday of November. If you have any questions, or would like more information, please contact Trey Pitchford.
Missions we support
Gospel Chariot
