CORNWALL, Ontario – Harvest Christian Fellowship celebrated 15 years of rocking with Jesus at their church on York St. in Cornwall on March 3, 2018.
The Harvest Christian Fellowship does their worship in an exciting way by having live musicians play Christian rock and the bright lights and fog machine make the community feel welcome and alive.
“We are not the only church like this, we don’t call ourselves Protestant, we are not Catholics though,” explained pastor Roy Stephenson.
A normal turnout on Sunday worship brings close to 300 people to the church and 40 to 60 volunteers.
The church has had their share of challenges and achievements over the years.
In 2007, the Fellowship purchased the former Saint John Bosco School property to create Heart of the Family, a 24-hour child care centre with a staff of over 50 people geared to help people in the community.
“It’s our outreach arm, we went to the city and asked what they need. We have over 300 children that are being cared for in that building,” said Miia Nauglar, the office manager for the church.
Then On Nov. 8, 2013, the boiler in the church exploded but this made way for countless renovations and modernizations within the building.
“We are really intent on making an inviting atmosphere that people can have fun with!” said Miia Nauglar.
