Athletics

When we moved from TX to IL, my first priority was to find a volleyball program for my daughters. The athletic program at Harvest is one of the best in Chicagoland. ~Mrs. Melissa Murray, HCA parent

We believe in using athletics for the purpose of discipling our student athletes in and for Jesus Christ
