History of Harvest

Beginning in September 1988, Harvest Bible Chapel met in a conference room with 18 followers of Jesus Christ who wanted a different kind of church in the Chicago area—a church where Christ would be worshiped in Spirit and in Truth. God led them to call 27-year-old James MacDonald to be their pastor in Rolling Meadows, Illinois.

By God’s hand, Harvest Bible Chapel has grown into a healthy, functioning fellowship of over 10,000 individuals on four Chicago land campuses. Recently, Harvest Bible Fellowship launched a church planting initiative that has led to growing churches throughout the United States, Canada, and even Romania. Please watch the video on our home page to learn more about what God has done through Harvest Bible Fellowship.
