Relevant Ministries is the Student Ministries of Harvest Assembly of God, in Chesapeake, Virginia.

But more than that, we are people searching for a higher meaning or calling. People with diverse backgrounds, some of us are hurting, busy, isolated, lost or alone. Some of us are extroverts, some introverts; some of us are from churched backgrounds, and some of us from no religious background at all. Some of us are skeptics, some cynics, some mystics and a few of us optimists.

One thing we share in common is our desire for spirituality. We have heard many in our generation say that Church (and God gets lumped in with church) is boring and irrelevant. This is extremely unfortunate, because we have found God to be completely the opposite.

At Relevant Ministries we desire to help create an environment that fosters spirituality without some of the trappings that so often turn us off.

We desire to be a ministry where authentic biblical community is lived out—not just talked about. Where believers experience the kind of relationship with God and others that are the biblical norm. We long to experience deep committed friendships where it’s safe to be open about a place to experience His presence, and to hear relevant life applicable messages from the current reality of our lives.

Come as you are. No getting dressed up. (We don’t care what you wear-tattoos, piercing, dreads—it’s all good) We don’t want anyone feeling unwelcome because they can’t “dress the part.”
