If your church needs a website but doesn't have a tech team — or a tech budget — Harvest was built for you. Founded in 2024 by James Taylor, a digital marketing veteran with 16+ years of experience through his agency Igniter Digital, Harvest is an all-in-one church platform serving over 500 congregations.^1
The platform spans seven modular products, each usable standalone or unified so data flows automatically between them. Harvest Sites uses AI to build complete church websites from a natural-language description — churches describe themselves and the platform generates a bespoke, fully-hosted site that can be refined by chatting in plain English, with managed hosting, daily backups, and security monitoring included.^2 Harvest Connect is a church management system that tracks every person's journey from first-time guest to lifelong member, with digital connection cards, prayer requests, small groups, and automated guest follow-up.^3 Harvest Engage handles email newsletters, SMS updates, and automated follow-up campaigns from a single dashboard.^4 Harvest Teams coordinates volunteer scheduling with availability tracking and automatic reminders.^5 Harvest Social schedules posts across platforms with AI-powered caption suggestions and a Verse of the Day automation powered by an official YouVersion (Bible.com) partnership.^6 Harvest Giving provides online donation processing with donor management and automated year-end statements, offered free to churches.^7 Harvest Studio offers AI-powered design tools for church graphics.^2 A simpler non-AI site builder, Harvest One, remains available for small churches that want a quick launch with pre-built themes and a "Next Steps" visitor workflow.^8
The founding team brings deep church-tech credibility. CMO Justin Dean previously led marketing at Tithe.ly — one of the largest church technology companies — where he acquired 20,000+ customers and grew the Modern Church Leader Conference, and before that served as Communications Director at Mars Hill Church in Seattle.^9 CTO Tanner Moushey and COO Jacqueline Taylor round out the leadership team alongside CEO James Taylor, bringing together pastors, ministry workers, and tech experts with 50+ years of combined ministry experience.^10
Harvest also operates a Creator Marketplace where designers earn income selling church-specific graphics and content packs, and an Agency Program serving 150+ partner agencies that have collectively hosted 2,500+ church websites on managed WordPress infrastructure.^11 Each product can be used standalone or combined into a unified platform, with modular pricing and a 14-day free trial requiring no credit card.^13
