Montreal Banquet And Toronto Banquet Cancelled due to COVID-19
We have impacted the lives of many including Pastors and their Leaders, Communities and individuals.We have reached out to them with Biblical Materials, Tracts, Videos, Musical instruments, Food, Clothing, Medication and financial Aid. We have supported churches in Jamaica, Dominica, Barbados, St Vincent, Grenada, Guyana, Antigua and Trinidad and Tobago. We had the privilege to visit some of these churches and take part in their outreach and Mission Ministry. In April 2011 we planted a church in Tobago at 140 Les Coteaux Road, Mason Hall. Pastor/Evangelist Renwick Stewart, Pastor/ Evangelist Lennox Manswell, and Rev Howard Herbert Senior Pastor are pastors of Harvest Community Church. We had our First Baptism on Easter Sunday. We also had our first Anniversary Service in March and our hearts were truly blessed.
Our mission is to intentionally glorify God our Father, Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour and the Holy Spirit our Comforter. In the holiness of their divine essence through encouraging doctrinal truth and prayer for spiritual awakening in Canada, The West Indies and beyond in preparing the churches for the Second Coming Of Christ (1 Thessalonians 4: 13 -18).
1. We believe and affirm that the scriptures of the Old and New Testament are verbally inspired by God and inerrent in the original autographs and that they are supreme and final authority in faith and life. That is, God literally “breathed” His truth through the individuals without the individual doing harm or distorting the truth. (2 Tim. 3:16).
2. We believe and affirm there is one God who is Creator, Governor and sustainer of all things, and who is in all things and all things are in Him; and that this one God eternally exist in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe and affirm the person of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the virgin Mary, who is without sin: and that through the incarnation the divine and human natures are united so that He is truly and properly God and truly and properly man.
4. We believe and affirm that the Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity, that He has participated in all the divine acts and has proceeded forth from the Father, to resurrect Jesus from the dead; to indwell, guide and empower believes and His Church; as well as convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment.
5. We believe and affirm that man was created in the image and likeness of God. He fell through disobedience, incurring thereby both physical and spiritual death.
6. We believe and affirm that salvation is found in Christ alone, by grace alone through faith alone and that through the vicarious work of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ all who repent of their sins; accept, believe and confess with their heart that Jesus Christ is Lord are forgiven of their sins, justified by the grace of God, born again of the Holy Spirit, receive the gift of eternal life and become the children of God.
7. We believe and affirm the work of the Holy Spirit, and particularly His role of co-resurrection with Christ and his saving and keeping all of the Elect; (Gal. 3: 3-5) that the baptism of the Holy Spirit takes place when He fully enters and spiritually resurrects the believer at the point of spiritual birth (Jo.3:7; Eph. 2:1).
8. We believe and affirm the Church of Jesus Christ, and that it consists of all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, are redeemed through His blood and are born again of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the Head of the Body, the Church, whose members are commissioned by Him to go into all the world as a witness, preaching the Gospel to all nations.
9. We believe and affirm that there shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust; for the former a resurrection unto life: for the latter a resurrection unto judgment and eternal death.
10. We believe and affirm the second coming of the Lord Christ and that it is imminent and will be personal and visible. As the believer’s blessed hope, this vital truth is an incentive for holy living and faithful service.
