Harvestime is a Christian organization founded by Bradley D. Oaster in 1980. Over the years, Harvestime has developed a unique strategic planning service to assist churches throughout the United States in the fulfillment of their mission and vision. During last three decades, Harvestime has developed a proven system for guiding churches through the complex process of developing long range "Strategic Ministry Plans" (SMP) and "Campus Development Plans" (CDP) prior to the design and construction of a new facility.
Most churches triple in size, staff, and budget within three years as a direct result of working with Harvestime and learning from our experience and the experience of other successful ministries.
Harvestime exists to help churches maximize their ministry momentum by eliminating the barriers standing between their current reality and the fulfillment of their mission and vision. Barriers often include a lack of resources such as facilities, land, money, and staff. In addition, ministries can suffer from a lack of community awareness, focus, prayer support, unity and vision. By eliminating growth barriers and planning in advance for future challenges, church growth will accelerate, without the normal limitations that often hinder ministry. Harvestime guides and directs church clients through the complicated maze of long range planning and facility expansion with a focus on healthy growth and ministry advancement.
