We're so glad you're here.
Welcome to the 2023 Harvest Christian Academy Gala Auction & Fundraiser! We pray that tonight you would be inspired as we reflect on all that the Lord has done in these 19 years of HCA. We also pray that you would join us as we look to the future of our school, as we wait to see what the Lord is going to do. Sit back, relax, and enjoy tonight’s program!

Our Gala 2023 Keynote Speaker, Dr. Jeff Bucknam
Jeff Bucknam is the Lead Teaching Pastor at Harvest Bible Chapel in Chicagoland. His love for preaching and Christ’s church has led him to serve as a pastor and professor for the last 25 years in the United States, New Zealand, and Canada. He holds a Master of Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Talbot School of Theology. When he’s not standing behind a pulpit or a lectern, he can be found riding his bike (slowly), cheering on his favorite team (unsuccessfully), and spending time with his wife and three children (happily).

Moriah Gilman was a student at HCA from the day its doors opened to graduating as valedictorian in 2020. She actively participated in HCA’s theater program portraying a variety of roles such as Miss Hannigan in Annie and Mary Poppins in Mary Poppins.
