Harvest
Christian Fellowship in Warner Robins, Georgia, started
as a Church of God of Prophecy tent revival on the corner
of Bell Drive and Lydrick Avenue in 1958 with Rev. Jack
Bryant in charge. Meetings were held under the tent
and God blessed in a mighty way like in the old time camp
meetings. Some of the services were under such anointing
and power that the police were called to come out and tried
to put a stop to the services. Rev. M.B. Stearman
was said to have told the police that "this is the Lord's
work, we'll stop when God is through, not until."
In
June 1958, the church was organized by Rev. Jack Bryant
who was pastoring the Houston Avenue church in Macon,
Georgia at the time. Rev. Bryant took care of the
new church in Warner Robins until the State Convention when
Rev. Willis was appointed as its first official pastor.
The charter members of the church were:
M.B.
Stearman
Birdie Stearman
Dessie Phillips
Charles Fender
Bobbie Fender
The
church grew in number with the membership increasing and
growing in the Lord and the community.
I1959:
The church purchased a garage from Mrs. Parrott on Curtis
Street. Some time later (when Rev. Clinton Fields was
the pastor) a church building was constructed. During
the pastorate of the late Rev. William Lamb, Sr., the church
was renovated and improved in many ways.
1993: The church relocated to a new building during
the pastorate of Rev. J.A. Brookshire to its current location
on South Houston Lake Road.
The
Warner Robins church continues to function in the "International
City" with a constantly changing congregation over the years,
largely due to neighboring Robins Air Force Base.
2003:
The church was renamed "Harvest Christian Fellowship".
