It is our desire at Harvest Church to serve the community by providing a performing arts academy that reaches for excellence and protects our students from forms of performance that will threaten their innocence or integrity.

At Harvest Performing Arts Academy (HPAA), we have a team of experienced, qualified, talented, and dedicated teachers. Meet our instructors below.

We believe in providing an excellent standard of training for our students in a caring and supportive environment.

Students may enroll and begin lessons anytime throughout the year. The enrollment fee per family per school year is $30. Your lesson time slot will be confirmed once payment is made.

Two ways to enroll: Register and pay online or complete the registration form and bring it to the church office (Monday-Thursday, 9am-3pm) with your enrollment fee check made payable to Harvest Church.
