Harvest Christian Fellowship

About Harvest Christian Fellowship

Harvest Christian Fellowship was founded in 1979 by Greg Laurie in Riverside, CA. Laurie is currently the senior pastor of thirty years. Harvest is a megachurch with a congregation of 15,000 and growing. The eighth largest church in America and third largest in California, they are currently expanding their campus with a building campaign entitled Chapter Two. As well as being the launching pad for the International Harvest Crusades, Harvest is involved in other various internal and external ministries.

The vision at Harvest Christian Fellowship is "Knowing God And Making Him Known." While being heavily evangelistic, Greg Laurie also preaches three Sunday morning services at 7:45, 9:45 and 11:45 am. A fourth service is held at 6pm Sunday Night called Day 7 and is led by Pastor Steve Wilburn. Formerly led by Pastor Greg, Day 7 is an innovative Sunday night service for the 21st century. Harvest also offers a Mid-Week study every Wednesday led by Pastor Jeff Lasseigne along with separate High School and Jr. High Services. All Sunday and Mid-Week services are available as a live webcast as well as archived for later viewing.

In 1990 Greg Laurie started holding his first public evangelistic event which would soon be called the Harvest Crusades. Since the first Crusade it has been estimated that nearly 3.5 million people have attended in stadiums, amphitheaters, and like venues.
