Our Foundations : 1985 Harvest Community Church had its start in the fall of 1985 as an extension of Village Baptist Church in Beaverton, Oregon. 75 people attended our first worship service held at Aloha Park Elementary School.
Our Independence : 1986 Attendance soon rose to over 100. Founding pastor Frank Lednicky and a core team of people led Harvest to become a separate entity with its own deacon board. After two years, we moved to Tualatin Valley Junior Academy until we moved into our first permanent facility in July of 1990. The first facility was built almost entirely by volunteer labor from our own body with supervision from Craftsmen for Christ.
A New Facility : 1999 By 1998, we were running three services and were bursting at the seams for worship and classroom space, so we began an ambitious building project to create a much larger worship center and many new classrooms. The first part of the new facility, a large atrium and worship center, was opened for use in April 1999, and we completed the remaining wings of classrooms and balcony over the next three years.
20 Years of Blessing God has abundantly blessed Harvest in over 20 years of ministry. Today, Harvest is a relatively healthy body of roughly 550 average attendance. There is a strong spirit of unity in our body and a lot of positive energy and we look to what God will do through Harvest in the times ahead.
