The Harbor Worship Center
In this episode of the Get In Your Business Podcast, host Alison Shores sits down with Pastor Mike Sanes of The Harbor to share a story of faith, leadership, and long-term growth in Camden County.
Pastor Mike walks through his journey from the Air Force into ministry, and how he has led The Harbor for nearly 30 years. What began with just 19 people has grown into a thriving church reaching over 1,000 weekly attendees, with major milestones like hosting more than 3,000 people across Easter services.
Building Something That Lasts
This episode highlights what growth really looks like behind the scenes. Years of planning, setbacks, and persistence went into expanding The Harbor. With a new facility on the way, Pastor Mike explains what it takes to build something sustainable that impacts generations.
Giving Back in a Big Way
A major focus of the conversation is The Harbor’s commitment to serving the community.
Key initiatives include:
• Thanksgiving Blessing Boxes serving hundreds of families
• Serve Day projects across Camden, Charlton, and Brantley counties
• Support for military families, seniors, and those in need
This is a model built on action and consistent outreach.
Impact Beyond Camden County
The conversation expands beyond the local community. Pastor Mike shares stories of building homes for pastors in Guatemala, supporting efforts across Africa, and identifying needs within the United States, including underserved communities that lack basic resources.
The Call of God
Pastor Mike also discusses his book, The Call of God, which outlines his personal journey of stepping into purpose without traditional qualifications. The core message is that calling is not about credentials, but about obedience and faith.
A Unique Perspective
In a more personal moment, Pastor Mike shares his experience as a skydiving instructor with over 1,000 jumps, offering a unique perspective on risk, trust, and stepping into the unknown.
Key Takeaway
Growth—whether in leadership, business, or life—comes through consistency, faith, and a commitment to serving others.
