At first glance you would not know it is a church. It is situated in a shopping center, right next…read moreto a food lion grocer store. But don't let that discourage you from entering. As you walk in the door, you are greeted by friendly people, who welcome you, offer coffee, water and snacks/cakes. A really nice comfortable lounge / foyer area to relax and have coffee, to wait on others and mingle while waiting on service to start. The area also serves as an area to post announcements, collections for various ministries. It has an awesome kids area, modern, clean, lots of colorful graphics, games, air hockey and other stuff for kids. Then the general seating area for services. This is a nice clean, comfortable area, that has large round tables to sit, or a front area with regular seating. I loved the table idea, cozy, can write notes, and have a coffee in front of you. Service begin at 10:am. Sometimes there is a musician who played upbeat, progressive and various types of music, sometimes the screens would show various worship songs. About 15 minutes of music while people arrive and get seated then the service begins with the pastors message. Pastor Mike Pharr truly is an awesome speaker. He is down to earth, reads bible verses, but also applies honest, personal stories to relate to the message, he also just throws in a few funny things or something about himself that makes you laugh. He just has a relaxed but powerful way to present the message and the message is always relevant. Prayer is done throughout the message at beginning, sometimes during the service and ending. Music worship sends you off. I have to say that I was invited and cannot thank that person enough for that. i would not have known about this awesome place and am so thankful to be a part of them now. I am a new person, attending a few months now. But from the moment I walked in the door to the time I was made to feel welcome. I was given an adorable bag with a welcome gift. I was greeted as I walked in, people introduced themselves and welcomed me. At the end of the first service people came and introduced themselves welcomed me. Pastor Mike and his beautiful, wife, Karen talked with me after service. I have to say that this is a place that is welcoming, are true Jesus followers, believe and follow the bible, they are reaching out to the community to serve in various ways, homeless outreach, homeless huts, connecting with schools to sponsor them, they have a giving box area that they provide food, baby items and other items families might need and can visit this for those items. They have small groups that meet twice a month at 5pm on Sundays as well as a womens group that meets every third Thursday at 6pm. They have trips, picnics and other things for the rock community to attend. they have a website and a facebook page if you want to check them out. You are so welcome here so I would say give them a try if you have been searching for a place you feel you belong.

Today (9/18/22) was the second time my son and I visited Harvest. The first was last week. Both times, I felt welcomed. They have children's church, which my son highly enjoyed. They helped show me the process and give me necessary information. The first visit happened to be the pastors birthday, so there was cake for everyone following the service. They have a 9am and 11am service. 9am too early for me, so I attended the 11am both times. They have a mid week service on Wednesday but I'm not sure the time. They also have several other events and services too. During this visit, I noticed there was a Sheriff office outside, who I assume is security. With recent events, I guess you can never be too careful. I entered a different door the first time. The church itself is mixed raced and open to all. They also live stream services online. They offer complimentary coffee and water in the lobby area. There is an information desk for visitors and/or first timers. Individuals I met the first visit remembered my son and I the second time and expressed they're excited to see us, which I loved. I enjoyed the service both times. I plan to continue to come.
