Your first visit to Harvest Baptist will be refreshing, friendly, and enjoyable for your whole family.

What can I expect on my first visit?
You can't miss our beautiful church campus on Walt Stephens Rd. As our guest, feel free to park wherever you like and if you need any assistance, our parking attendants will be glad to help you. As you approach the main worship center, one of our greeters will meet you and direct you to the right classes and services. They can also answer other questions you may have.
In our worship service you will enjoy inspiring and uplifting music of the choir, ensemble, and soloists. The music is always followed by a clear, spirit-filled Bible message from Pastor Arthur.
Where do I take my children?
Starting with excellent nurseries, there is something special for every age child. At every service there are safe, clean, and highly staffed nurseries for children three years old and under. For children four years old through sixth grade we offer a service just for them, known as Kids Church. Kids Church is staffed with trained, friendly, and well-qualified teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child.
Our campus has a lot of buildings, which to a guest can seem overwhelming at first. It's not as complicated as it looks, and we would like to help you find the appropriate nurseries, classes, and services for every person in your family. Our greeters and ushers are located around the church as well as in the lobby of the main worship center and will gladly help direct and even escort you to the right place.
What about my teens?
Our student ministries are very important to us here at Harvest. Most of the teens attend a class for one hour and then a worship service another hour with their parents.
How should I dress?
At Harvest we understand that every church is unique, and guests usually don't like to be suprised. We hope this information will be of help. On Sundays we still like to wear our “Sunday Best”. Many of our men will wear jackets and ties, and most of our ladies wear dresses. We want our guests to feel comfortable when attending our services, so please understand that there is no dress code. Our main goal is that you would feel welcome and comfortable on your visit here at Harvest Baptist!
Am I Expected to Participate in the Offering?
No. We don't invite you to Harvest Baptist Tabernacle for your offering. We want our service to be a gift to you. We hope you will find in this place a warm family spirit, truth from God's Word, and a place where you can grow in God's grace. Please feel free to participate in the offering, but do not feel that it is expected as our guest.
Other questions?
If there's something we missed on this list, just give us a call, or ask someone when you arrive. Whether you're new to the area and looking for a church home, or if it's been a long time since you've attended church at all, we hope your first visit at Harvest Baptist will be awesome! We exist to serve you and your family, and we are looking forward to meeting you personally. We hope you'll feel right at home from the very first moment you step onto the property! Let us know how we can serve you better, and we hope to meet you this Sunday!
