• 2026 END OF THE YEAR HARVEST REPORT

    2026 END OF THE YEAR HARVEST REPORT

  • John 4:35. "Open your eyes and look at the fields. They are ripe for harvest."

    In 2026, the Trinity Conference ratified a Strategic Framework with three desired outcomes for our work:

    1. Equip every disciple to make disciples.

    2. Equip every leader to grow and raise up leaders.

    3. Equip every church to partner in planting.

    In order to record the ways God is guiding us through this framework and to help the conference determine how we can best equip churches to meet our strategic objectives, we are asking EVERY church to complete this Harvest Report by JANUARY 31, 2027.

    This form will allow you to save your work and return to complete it later. However, we recommend completing and submitting the form in one sitting to ensure receipt of your completed report.
