In Illinois...
Beginning in September 1988, Harvest Bible Chapel met in a conference room with 18 followers of Jesus Christ who wanted a different kind of church in the Chicago area—a church where Christ would be worshiped in Spirit and in Truth. God led them to call 27-year old James MacDonald to be their pastor in Rolling Meadows, Illinois.
By God’s hand, Harvest Bible Chapel has grown into a healthy, functioning fellowship of over 10,000 individuals on four Chicago land campuses. Recently, Harvest Bible Fellowship ( www.harvestbiblefellowship.org ) launched a church planting initiative that has led to growing churches throughout the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, and even Nepal.
In Cambridge...
In August 2008 a body of believers in Cambridge, Ontario voted to become a Harvest Bible Chapel. The first official service of our church was held on Sunday, November 16, 2008 at Heritage College & Seminary. Out of God’s grace and provision, Pastor Jacob Reaume with his wife, Joanna, and their kids were brought to Harvest Waterloo Region in August 2009. By God’s grace we have grown from just a few families to over 200 regular attendees each Sunday. We are expectant and prayerful for all that God will do in and through us as we seek to glorify Him through the fulfillment of the Great Commission in our community, our country, and throughout the nations!
