Harvesters International Christian Centre

What Harvesters International Christian Centre does

Harvesters International Christian Centre is a non-profit Christian church organization founded in 2003 in Lagos, Nigeria, that has scaled from a single-room gathering into a 12-campus multi-country operation with reported 10,000+ active in-person members and 50,000+ online members across Nigeria (Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan), London, and the United States. Its core offering is a multi-layered ministry portfolio organized by life stage — Kidz Zone (ages 1-12), StirHouse (ages 13-19), The Fifth Community (ages 19-26), Small Groups, Growth Track for new converts, and the general congregation — alongside a daily Next Level Prayers program (6:30-7:30 AM WAT weekdays) and NLP Communities spanning at least 10 countries. The supporting technology stack comprises a website, the Harvesters Church Mobile App on iOS and Android built on the ChurchPlus platform, an Online Church platform at harvesterng.online.church, a Podbean-distributed audio podcast, a YouTube channel (HarvestersTV), and a digital giving system accepting NGN, USD, GBP, and EUR.

The business model is a voluntary-contribution non-profit funded primarily by tithes, offerings, and the Isaac Offering from congregation members across all campuses, with digital giving channels extending collection to remote and diaspora members. Go-to-market is community-led through small groups and pastoral services, supplemented by event-driven engagement via weekly Sunday services, annual conferences (e.g., NLP Nigeria, Decode teen events), and pastoral milestone services (baby dedication, marriage preparation, counseling, funeral services). Outreach and mission activities — including the Harvesters Skill Acquisition Program (HSAP, launched July 2016), Harvesters African Empowerment Foundation (HAEF), End Hunger Initiative, and Prison Ministry — extend the social mission but do not constitute commercial revenue lines. Distribution occurs through physical campuses, the online church, mobile applications, small groups, and the global NLP Community network, with the organization governed under Nigerian law and operating on a 51–100 employee base.
