Establishing One Harbor

Dear Friends,

After more than a decade of gospel work, our network has seen that churches and leaders desperately need a harbor - a safe place to rest and renew, find their bearings, and be restored for more ministry and mission. Since 2011, we’ve honed our services and structure to offer the safety and support needed to launch, lead and multiply thriving churches. 

We are proud of what we have accomplished, but also realistic with our expectations and pacing. Our organization has grown from a handful of charter members to a national network of 110 churches. More churches are coming to us and counting on us. We need a stronger harbor built to support and strengthen more called leaders so that more people can experience renewal through the gospel of Jesus Christ. 

To that end, we have been working hard over the last 18 months towards “establishing one harbor.” We desire to firmly establish Harbor Network: build our core ministry areas, implement a new strategy to launch more churches, and grow in operational maturity. 

Through six strategic focus areas, we have addressed critical threats and weaknesses and built on strengths to pursue new opportunities. We are in a much-improved cash position compared to early 2022; our member churches are giving over 100% of pledged amounts and our donor cultivation efforts are maturing as we seek to diversify our revenue sources. Our program revenues are also expanding along with our offerings.

In other words, by God’s grace, we are establishing and strengthening one Harbor. In the pages of this annual report we will try to show how we are doing this, why we are doing it, and our hopes for the next few years. Thank you for being part of this movement!

In Him,
Dave Owens
Executive Director
