About Harvest Christian Church

Thank you for taking the time to find out more about Harvest Christian Church and our community. Harvest Christian Church was established in Fredericton, New Brunswick in 2008 as a group of Christians. We hope that after you look through our website and attend a Sunday evening service, you will consider becoming a more active part of our growing community of faith.

Lead by Pastor Brent Roy, Harvest Christian Church began offering regular worship services in July 2010 and welcomes people of all ages and walks of life who are looking to strengthen their relationship with Christ.

Mission Statement

To REACH those who do not know Christ, to EDIFY believers in faith in Christ and to SEND them in service into the Fredericton community and beyond to reach more souls for Christ.

Our Affiliations

We are accountable to and enjoy the support of the Canadian National Baptist Convention (CNBC) as well as churches from the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in the U.S. and the East Coast Baptist Association (ECBA) here in Eastern Canada.

Why Harvest?

In the fourth chapter of the gospel of John, in verse 35, "Jesus said: "Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest." 

Harvesttime in the ancient world was a time of joy, just as there is also great joy when a sinner (the Bible informs us that we are ALL sinners) repents, meaning he confesses his sin, turns from it and puts his complete trust in Christ. 

Do we need more churches?

Throughout history, many have been called to faraway countries to proclaim and demonstrate the love of Jesus, yet in our own back yard today, the spiritual need has never been greater.

Sadly, North America is the only continent where Christianity is not growing. The decline began in earnest in the middle of the last century.

In 1900 there were 27 churches for every 10,000 Americans.
In 1950 there were 17 churches for every 10,000 Americans
In 1996 there were 11 churches for every 10,000 Americans.

This seems hard to believe in a time when saturation of Christian radio and television and access to Bibles and biblical teaching materials (printed or online) is at an alltime high. 

In our country today, only 20 percent of Canadians regularly attend church and only seven percent of Canadians are connected with an evangelical Christian church.*

Where 13 percent of Canadians read their horoscope daily, only four percent read their Bible daily.*

Jesus said, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." (Matt 9:37-38)

If the statistics are true---if we are in as dark a spiritual age as the surveys say, then it is evident that we do not need just another church. In reality, Fredericton could use dozens and dozens more vibrant, evangelical faith communities filled with labourers like you and me who want to help with the harvest to see our friends and neighbours lives transformed.
