About Us

Welcome to Harvest Christian Fellowship, a vibrant, non‑denominational church founded in 1973 by Pastor Greg Laurie in Riverside, California. For over five decades, our mission has been simple yet profound: Knowing God and Making Him Known. We are a community of believers dedicated to fostering a deep relationship with Jesus Christ and sharing His love with the world.

Our Story

Harvest began humbly as a Bible study led by a young Greg Laurie during the Jesus People movement of the late 1960s. What started in a small gathering has grown into a multi‑campus ministry with locations in Riverside, Orange County, and Maui. Today, with a weekly attendance of over 9,000 people, Harvest remains committed to biblical teaching, authentic worship, and meaningful fellowship.

In 1990, Pastor Greg launched the Harvest Crusades, a large‑scale evangelistic event that has reached millions with the Gospel.

What We Believe

At Harvest, we believe in the transformative power of the Bible as God’s Word. Our core values center on:

• Worship: Engaging in heartfelt, Christ‑centered worship.
• Teaching: Providing sound biblical teaching to equip believers for life and faith.
• Community: Building authentic relationships through small groups, ministries, and outreach.
• Service: Serving others locally and globally, reflecting Christ’s love in action.

Our Community

With campuses in Southern California and Hawaii, Harvest is a place where everyone is welcome. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or seeking a deeper connection with God, you’ll find a home here. Our services feature dynamic worship, relevant messages, and opportunities to connect through ministries like Harvest Kids, Youth, Young Adults, Men’s (Valor), Women’s (Virtue), and Harvest Groups.
