Our Vision
The future we are building together — one relationship, one program, one transformed life at a time.

Where We Are Going
"To be a thriving, Christ-centred community that transforms Burnaby and beyond — nurturing spiritual growth, fostering unity across cultures, and equipping every person to fulfil their God-given purpose with boldness and grace."
Vision is not wishful thinking. It is a deliberate picture of what we are working toward — a north star that gives shape to every decision, program, and partnership we pursue. At Harvest Mission Church, we hold this vision with both humility and conviction.
We do not simply desire to be a church that exists in Burnaby. We aspire to be a church that makes Burnaby a better city — one where every resident feels a greater sense of belonging, hope, and possibility because we are here.
Our Core Values
These values are not aspirations — they are the non-negotiables that define how we operate, how we treat people, and what we stand for.
Scriptural Integrity
We are anchored in the authority, truth, and life-giving power of Scripture. Everything we teach, preach, and practice is tested against the enduring wisdom of God's Word.
Spiritual Vitality
We believe that healthy communities begin with spiritually vibrant individuals. We prioritise worship, prayer, and deep personal transformation as the foundation of everything we build.
Cultural Unity
Our congregation reflects the beautiful diversity of Burnaby. We celebrate every culture and background, believing that our differences make us stronger and our unity makes us a testimony.
Generational Impact
We think in generations, not just quarters. Every seed planted in a child, every mentorship extended to a teenager, and every family strengthened today is an investment in the Burnaby of tomorrow.
Courageous Service
We do not wait for perfect conditions to serve. We step out with faith, embracing the difficult and overlooked places where the need is greatest and the reward is deepest.
Grace-Filled Community
We extend to others the same extraordinary grace we have received. Our community is a place of second chances, patient love, and the freedom to grow at your own pace without shame.

A Better Burnaby for Everyone
Burnaby is a city in motion — growing, changing, and home to an increasingly diverse and dynamic population. We see the church not as a refuge from the city, but as an active participant in making it thrive.
Our vision for Burnaby includes a city where newcomers find a community that helps them settle and flourish; where children grow up with mentors who believe in them; where isolated seniors are visited and celebrated; and where families facing crisis find reliable, compassionate support.
We are working toward that Burnaby, one relationship at a time — and we believe the best is still ahead of us.
Our Community WorkOur Focus for the Years Ahead
Vision without action is a dream. Here are the key priorities shaping our ministry and community investment in the coming years.
Expand Educational Programs
Launching new English language, literacy, and digital skills classes to equip immigrants and newcomers with tools for long-term success in Canada.
Deepen Neighbourhood Roots
Building stronger neighbourhood connections through resident-led initiatives, block events, and community partnership agreements with local organisations.
Strengthen Families
Growing our family support services with additional counselling resources, parenting support, and marriage enrichment programming for every stage of life.
Raise Up New Leaders
Developing a robust leadership pipeline that identifies, trains, and releases new leaders — from within our congregation and from the communities we serve.
Help Us Build What We Believe
Our vision is bigger than any one person or team. It takes a community to transform a community. We invite you to be part of what we are building.
