Getting to Know Each Other
We know meeting someone for the first time can be intimidating and going to a new church for the first time can be nerve-racking. We want to help make your first experience at Harvest International Baptist Church a great one!
We love the fact that you’re here and interested in our church. Yet, more importantly, it is our prayer that this website serves as a tool to point you to God and to experience His love and grace.
“What Can I Expect?”
The Music
We are glad to announce that we are still using the good old-fashioned Hymnals. We are proud to provide a traditional song service with good old-fashioned hymns such as “Amazing Grace” and “The Old Account was Settled Long Ago!”
The Message
We believe in preaching the whole counsel of God. We preach from the whole Bible. Our 10:00 AM service is focused on growing our knowledge of the Bible, by studying the Word of God chapter by chapter, verse by verse, whereas our 11:30 service is focused more on topical teaching and preaching of the Word of God.
The Fellowship
One of the most important things in a church is the fellowship. The Lord Jesus said that by this people will know that we are His disciples, by our love for each other. We are a thriving, family-friendly, multicultural, Bible-believing, Baptist Church.

We are a Christian Baptist Church. So we believe the Bible. We also stand for what is called the fundamentals of the faith, as found in the Bible. Please feel free to check out our statement of faith found on this website below.
In our church, you will find people wearing suits and ties, whereas others wear casual clothing. Please wear what you feel comfortable wearing to church, but please avoid profane clothing or clothing that is too revealing, since it is a church and we believe we are there to meet with God.
Our services are usually about one hour each, give or take a few minutes.
We want our service to be a gift to you. We hope you will find a warm and friendly family spirit here, truth from God’s Word, and a place where you can grow in God’s grace. Please do not feel obligated to participate in the offering as a guest.
