A LEADERSHIP COLLECTIVE
Three Paths. One Mission.
The Harbor brings together Young Leaders, Navigators, and church partners to raise up young leaders in Christ and send them for service to the church and world. Each path is different, but all three are connected by a shared commitment to developing Christ-centered leadership.
Our Mission
We are a program built for young leaders in the church. Through our efforts we seek to raise up and send out the next generation of church workers and volunteers. We prioritize investing in the young leader, not just the program. Click here to learn more about our work and how you can get involved.
The HARBOR Experience
A journey of formation, mentorship and purpose.
Leadership Formation
Participants grow as thoughtful, confident leaders through guided reflection, coaching, and practical leadership development. The Harbor helps emerging leaders understand their gifts, strengthen their leadership voice, and develop the skills needed to influence their communities.
Mentorship & Community
Leadership doesn’t happen alone. Participants are surrounded by mentors and a cohort of peers who encourage, challenge, and walk alongside them. This network becomes a space for honest conversation, shared learning, and lasting relationships.
Purpose & Sending
The Harbor helps leaders connect their faith, calling, and vocation. Participants are equipped to step into opportunities with clarity and purpose—ready to lead where God is already at work in their communities.
It's More Than a Program.
Together we're providing real experiences and real opportunities.
"I am most grateful for being in The Harbor program because it expanded my understanding that there are so many different ways to merge what I want to do with ministry."

"I learned what it looks like to mentor intentionally. I will be applying [the learned concepts] to as many different areas in ministry as I can to help me better raise up young people in the faith.”
Navigator & DCE - Jacob Adams
"Partnering with the Harbor is raising our capacity of ministry within our congregation. Our members are more engaged and excited about how to support our young people within the congregation."
