our purpose

everything we do is about one thing; introducing people to Jesus.

We exist to reach the lost, the hurting, and those who feel far from God—and help them discover the life-changing love of Christ. Our purpose is simple and powerful: Connecting hearts to God and each other. We live this out by:

worship boldly

We create space for people to encounter God through authentic worship and biblical teaching every weekend.

know Jesus personally

We invite people into a real, growing relationship with Jesus—one built on love, truth, and grace.

build meaningful community

We help people connect in life-giving relationships, where they’re seen, supported, and never walk alone.

grow & go

We guide every person to discover their God-given purpose, empowering them to live it out and make a difference.

our beliefs

the Bible is the final authority

We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God—our foundation and ultimate source of truth for every part of life.

"All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness."
 — 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV)

God’s Word is not just ancient wisdom—it’s alive, relevant, and powerful. At Harvest, you’ll hear teaching that connects Scripture to real life and calls us to live in obedience and faith.

God is our creator and king

We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—eternal, holy, and sovereign. He is the creator of all things and the author of our salvation.

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one."
 — Deuteronomy 6:4 (ESV)

Jesus is the only way to salvation

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, fully God and fully man. He lived a sinless life, died for our sins, rose again, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
 — John 14:6 (NIV)

Through His sacrifice, we are offered forgiveness and eternal life by grace through faith—not by works.

the Holy Spirit helps us to live fully

We believe the Holy Spirit dwells in every believer, guiding, comforting, and empowering us to live a life of victory, freedom, and purpose. We believe in the gifts of the Spirit and the fruit they produce.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses..."
 — Acts 1:8 (ESV)

We embrace Spirit-filled worship, prayer, and the pursuit of God’s presence.

water baptism and communion

We practice baptism by immersion as a public declaration of faith and obedience to Christ. We also celebrate communion as a remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice.

"Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins."
 — Acts 2:38 (NIV)

discipleship is our daily walk

Following Jesus is more than belief—it’s a lifestyle. We are called to grow in faith, become more like Christ, and help others do the same.

"Go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
 — Matthew 28:19–20 (NIV)

At Harvest, we believe every believer is a disciple and every disciple has a mission.

worship is our response to who God is

We believe worship is more than music—it’s a lifestyle of honoring God. Our Sunday services include Spirit-led worship, and we encourage freedom in lifting hands, singing, and praising God boldly.

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."
 — Psalm 150:6 (ESV)

We teach that praise and worship are weapons of victory and a path to deeper intimacy with Jesus.

core values

our story

how it started

Harvest Church began in August 1999, when eight people gathered with Pastor Charlie and Djuana Dial in their home in Sioux Falls. They didn’t have a building, a big budget, or a blueprint—but they had a vision: to see lives radically transformed by the power of Jesus.

From the beginning, Harvest was built on a simple mission: connect hearts to God, and to each other. With hearts full of faith and the gospel as their foundation, they prayed, worshiped, and believed that God would use their small beginning for something much bigger.

Over the years, God has been faithful. What started as a handful of people has grown into a vibrant, diverse church family. We've moved through seasons of meeting in different locations, planting roots deeper into our city, and watching God open doors we never could’ve imagined.

Our services have multiplied. Ministries have expanded. Lives have been saved, restored, and sent out. But through it all, one thing has never changed: our commitment to making Jesus known and keeping the lost at the center of our mission.

We believe our best days are still ahead. We’re pressing forward with fresh vision and the same unshakable mission—to bring the hope of the gospel to every person we can reach, from the streets of Sioux Falls to the ends of the earth.

As we grow, we are continuing to invest in the next generation, plant seeds of revival, and equip people to live bold, Spirit-filled lives. Our prayer is the same one we’ve been praying since day one:

The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.  -  Luke 10:2

how we've grown

where we're going

 Lord, use us to reach the lost and build Your Kingdom—far beyond what we could ask or imagine.

our leadership heartbeat

At Harvest Church, we believe that leadership is about serving like Jesus—with humility, courage, and vision.
 
Our pastors and leaders are here not to be elevated, but to equip others.
They are shepherds, servants, and passionate believers in the potential of every person to impact the world for Christ.

Pastor Charlie and Djuana Dial planted Harvest Church in 1999 with just eight people and a clear calling to reach the lost for Christ. Originally from Oklahoma where they attended Southwestern University, they’ve faithfully served the Sioux Falls community for over two decades, building a church rooted in biblical truth, Spirit-led worship, and authentic discipleship. With a deep love for people and a passion to see lives transformed by Jesus, they’ve led Harvest Church with humility, vision, and unwavering faith. Together, they have three children, who are all involved in ministry.

“And He gave… pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.”
 — Ephesians 4:11–12 (ESV)
