who are we?

Harvest House was set up in July 2006 to be a meeting place for a number of ministries that have developed over the past 6 years.
Current ministries are:
* Community Group: Hiro Komi has been meeting since 2005. It is comprised of 15 people who attend the Itayangi Chapel but live in South-West Hirosaki. Meetings are generally held on the 2nd Saturday of each month. They provide an informal place to invite friends, and to talk about faith-matters over a meal.
* Ladies New Life Group: This evangelistic group has developed into a monthly cooking class usually held at Chitose Community Center. There are over 30 ladies registered and usually they take along at least 1 preschool child.
* Child-rearing Classes: The idea was born in December 2002 when Ruth Mae was asked to teach craft and cooking classes at a members home. Attending mothers had requested a regular child rearing classes but without a meeting place they were turned down. In July 2006 the first class was held to which 20 mothers and 30 children attended. This group continues to meet biweekly.
* Facilitating University students: Harvest House is a 5 minute walk from Gakuin University which has 1100 students. Tsugaru Church has 2 Christian uni students and a number of uni contacts but no church ministry exists targeting this age group.
