Harvest Field Church is an independent evangelical church serving Cheltenham and the surrounding area of Gloucestershire.
Pastor Simon Measures says, "Harvest Field Church started in Jerry Garry's living room here in Cheltenham in 1992. At first it was just two families - his and mine. We sang psalms and spiritual songs. We prayed. Then I taught Bible principles of faith and victory."
The three key features that characterised Harvest Field Church in its formative days in Cheltenham still characterise the church today. These three key features are:
Harvest Field Church has a family atmosphere. People in the church enjoy meeting up not only for church services but also for picnic and other social occasions. We all like to see one another doing well and finding a joy and benefit from being part of the church. There's a wide age range in the church. Members and visitors to the church come from both within Cheltenham and also from the surrounding area of Gloucestershire.
There's joy in our music. There's fun. Music and song in the church is counted as a powerful gift. There's a celebration of life through Jesus as our musicians play. Their songs minister straight to the heart and produce a response of praise, worship and adoration from both young and old in the church.
Teaching and preaching at Harvest Field Church always has a practical dimension to it. Whether it's a sermon or a teaching you hear things that you can directly apply to your daily life and benefit from them. The messages are Spirit-led and dynamic. You feel that even if it's the written word from the Bible that is being read nevertheless it comes across as a fresh, living word for today.
Harvest Field Church are looking for participants in church building. We need musicians, worship leaders, teachers, evangelists, intercessors, those with a calling for outreach ministries and those with a calling for Sunday school ministry. Of course, those who would like to simply an active part of the congregation are also welcome.
We welcome you to contact us and consider joining us especially if you are considering moving into the Cheltenham / Gloucestershire area from elsewhere.
