The Harbor is a place called to reach the entire community of Ventura and Oxnard including the underserved, the disenfranchised, the poor, the homeless, the white collar workers, the blue collar workers and their families. All are welcomed at The Harbor. We have a heart to embrace those on the streets homeless and bring them into the Love of Jesus Christ by loving them and helping them find permanent solutions to every challenge they have. We are a church with no walls in side the walls of the Church. We see rich and poor side by side worshiping the Lord Jesus Christ on Sunday's! And helping each other, serving each other and loving each other all week. Together we want to see every man, woman and child in Ventura County reached with the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Everyday members of The Harbor family go out to the parks and river bottom and "reach the people no body wants inside the walls of a church" . We go to embrace them, befriend them and share the good news and teachings of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to go where they are, and love them and hang out with them where ever they call home and bring church to them. Once trust is developed and they feel there is hope to change their situation, we bring them to the church for help through our MCM Ministry Case Management services. At The Harbor we provide case management services designed to collaborate with the many surrounding city agencies and local city social services operations that can provide services for those addicted through substance abuse, or homeless pregnant woman in need of housing and medical care, etc. plus for those that want to further their education we help them with schooling and Job search services available right at the church. Most importantly we begin a one on one mentoring and discipleship program for each one that chooses to have some one come along side them and teach them more about Jesus and our Christian faith. Our goal is to help every one that comes to our church family for help and help them find value and love and walk along side them with hope and solutions to their addictions and homeless living situations.
