Harvest Christian Fellowship

What Harvest Christian Fellowship does

Harvest Christian Fellowship is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Christian ministry founded in 1973 by Greg Laurie in Riverside, California, during the Jesus Movement. The organization operates four church campuses (three in California, one in Hawaii) serving 8,000+ members and runs the broader Harvest Ministries ecosystem, which spans national mass-media evangelism, congregational worship, humanitarian relief, and published content. Its flagship products include the Harvest+ multi-platform streaming app (iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Samsung TV, Apple TV, web) hosting 50+ years of sermons, films, and podcasts; the daily "A New Beginning" radio broadcast carried on 1,100+ stations and SiriusXM FamilyTalk; the weekly "Harvest with Greg Laurie" TV program on TBN and other networks; and the recurring Harvest Crusades held at major stadiums such as Angel Stadium and AT&T Stadium. Supporting products include daily devotions, Greg Laurie's blog and podcast, the Virtue women's ministry, the Harvest Discipleship online community, the New Believer's Bible (10M+ copies in print), free eBooks, a music/worship brand (Harvest Worship), and feature films including the 2023 Lionsgate-released "Jesus Revolution."

The Harvest Relief Fund extends the ministry into humanitarian operations, with disaster-response activity in Southern California, Maui, and Israel through partnerships with Samaritan's Purse, Magen David Adom, and The Joshua Fund. The organization functions as a hybrid of media company, event operator, and religious nonprofit, distributing free content across owned digital platforms, third-party TV/radio affiliates, podcast networks, and stadium venues, while deriving the majority of its operating revenue from tax-deductible donations — chiefly the Harvest Partner monthly giving program (tiers $25-$315/mo) and one-time gifts — with smaller merchandising revenue via the Harvest Store. Reported reach exceeds one billion people annually with the gospel across media, and 125 Harvest Crusades since 1990 have drawn 6.5M+ cumulative in-person attendees and 600,000+ recorded professions of faith.
