Harvest Intercontinental Church-Olney

What Harvest Intercontinental Church-Olney does

Harvest Intercontinental Church-Olney is a nonprofit Christian church headquartered at 16227 Batchellors Forest Road, Olney, Maryland, led by Senior Pastors Bishop Darlingston and Pastor Chrys Johnson. It is a member congregation of Harvest Intercontinental Ministries Unlimited (HIMU), a global network of 450+ churches across more than 23 nations on six continents. The church serves a multicultural congregation drawn from families of 50+ nationalities, with four Sunday services delivered in English, Spanish, and Portuguese — both in-person and via the online "Harvest at Home" campus streamed across YouTube, Facebook, Zoom, and Alexa.

The core product surface spans worship services, structured discipleship through the four-base Road to Discipleship Program (RTDP) with one-on-one mentorship, a paid educational portfolio (Harvest School of Missions & Ministry at $900/year, a 12-course Harvest Christian Education Program, and the Harvest Marketplace Academy at $100–$300), age-segmented ministries (children's Harvest King's Kidz, youth, young adults, men's, women's, couples), small groups, care groups, and extensive missions work — including the Montgomery County–partnered Mid-County Hub food distribution program serving 3,000+ individuals and families weekly across six ZIP codes. Local missions extend to nursing homes, homeless shelters, and prison ministry.

The revenue model rests on voluntary tithes and offerings (treated as recurring giving from members), supplemented by tuition and fees from the educational programs, plus online giving channels including ChurchTeams, PayPal, Zelle, and text-to-give. Distribution combines the physical Olney campus, a globally streamed online campus, home-based and Zoom small groups, and the Mid-County Hub. The church is currently running the Invest Beyond Capital Campaign to fund a new 50,000 square foot worship center, signaling an expansion phase.
