How it all started...
Equipped with a vision from God and a commandment to go into all the world, Pastor Bracken and Donna Christian founded Harvest Church in June of 1992. The initial name was Church On The Go, and recently changed to Harvest Church. Harvest Church is established on the authority and integrity of God’s Word and the potential for every Christian to live a victorious and abundant life through faith.
The church initially began with a few people meeting in Pastor Bracken and Donna’s living room until a small church facility on the current campus became available for rent two months later. The church expanded into adjacent space as it grew and eventually added the new auditorium. We currently occupy 28,500 square feet of the property. In 2003, the church purchased the current warehouse property. We also purchased 65 acres of undeveloped land on Upland Ave, north of Marsha Sharp Freeway, where we have architectural plans for our new building.
Through the years, our congregation has grown and our influence in West Texas has broadened. Pastor Bracken and Donna are responsible for pioneering three other Family Harvest Churches in West Texas; Post, Seminole and Plainview. All three churches are thriving and growing with full time pastors who are commissioned out of Harvest Church, Lubbock.

Where we are headed...
Since 1992, When Pastor Bracken first wrote the vision down... Harvest Church has never been disobedient to the heavenly vision; "To be a mission minded church with a global vision."
After 28 years, we continue to fulfill that mandate and make Christ known to every age possible.
This vision has and will continue to include a strong local church that extends its reach not only to our city, but to our region and the nations beyond. This has been done through Church planting, sending out mission teams, local outreaches to our community, and making disciples through leadership and biblical training in other churches and bible schools throughout the world. We are striving toward this mission with all our creativity, resources, and prayers.
