Our Mission

We are a Bible-based church that exists to equip, empower, and mobilize God's chosen people to reflect His light. By strengthening believers in the truth of God’s Word, we prepare them to be effective, Spirit-led agents of Kingdom transformation in their homes and communities. Recognizing the harvest is great and the laborers are few, we commit ourselves to action—raising up workers who will go into the fields with boldness and compassion to win the lost. As a people treasured by God, we live to make His name known among all people. 

“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.””
— Mark 16:15-18 NKJV

Reaching the Community

The heart of The Royal Harvest Church is SOULS and our passion is reaching our community with the message of Jesus Christ. The Outreach Ministry exists to reach, compel and show the love of Jesus to people from all walks of life—both inside and outside our church walls. In every area of outreach, we bring light into dark places and help meet both spiritual and practical needs of the people. We desire to see all the surrounding areas shaken by the power of God. Harrisburg, Middletown, Elizabethtown, Mt. Joy, Hershey, Camp Hill, Steelton and more will know the goodness of God!

Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” (Mark 16:15). Our outreach is rooted in the Great Commission—to “go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19–20). We believe the Church is called to go beyond Sunday services and into the fields that are ripe for harvest.

As Jesus declared, “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field” (Matthew 9:37–38), we respond by mobilizing the church to be those laborers—bringing hope, healing, and the Good News to Dauphin County, Lancaster County, York County, Lebanon County and beyond.

Our outreach efforts are not just programs—they are a living expression of Christ’s love, flowing through His people, restoring lives, and making a lasting eternal impact in the world.

You were made for more than just attending church. The harvest is plentiful—will you be one of the laborers?

Equipping the Church

Equipping the local church is at the core of our mission to raise up believers who know who they are in Christ and live fully in their God-given purpose. We believe every person in the body of Christ is called, chosen, and capable of making a difference. As 1 Peter 2:9 declares, “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.”

Our desire is to ensure that every believer—regardless of age, background, or experience—can rise to that identity and walk confidently in the calling God has placed on their life. Through intentional teaching, discipleship, and leadership development, we are building a church that is spiritually mature, deeply rooted, and fully equipped to serve.
