We Believe…

We believe the Bible is the inspired,infallible word of God revealed unto man.

We believe that there is only one true and living God who reveals Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deuteronomy 6:4; Isaiah 43:10,11; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22).

We believe that man is a sinful being in need of redemption (Genesis 1:26-31, 3:1-7; Psalm 51:5; Ecclesiastes 7:29; John 6:44; Romans 5:12-21; 1 Corinthians 2:14).

We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ, that He is the Son of God and the son of man, that He came to save man from condemnation of sin by offering His blood as an atonement and making it available to all who exercise faith in Him (Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:31, 35; John 3:16; 1 Corinthians 15:3; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

We believe that for salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential (Luke 7:50, 24:47; Romans 10:13-15; 1 Corinthians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 2:15; Ephesians 2:8, 9; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 2:11, 3:5-7).

We believe the Scriptures ascribe to the Holy Spirit the acts and attributes of an intelligent being, and that the works of God such as creation, inspiration, giving of life, and sanctification are also ascribed to the Holy Spirit (Genesis 1:2; Job 33:4; Mark 3:29; John 16:8, 13; Acts 7:51, 10:19, 13:2, 13:4, 16:6; 1 Corinthians 2:11, 6:11, 12; Ephesians 4:30; 1 Peter 3:18; 2 Peter 1:21).

We believe in the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life (Romans 8:5; Philippians 2:12, 13; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 John 2:29).

We believe that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is given to believers who ask for it (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:4).

We believe that all mankind is subject to the death of the body as a result of original sin. The soul and spirit do not die, but immediately after death enter into a conscious state of happiness or misery according to the character here possessed by rejection or acceptance of the Savior (Ecclesiastes 12:7; Romans 5:12; Philippians 1:23).

We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved to everlasting life and the lost without Christ to everlasting damnation (Matthew 24:31-46; Acts 24:15; Revelation 22:11).

We believe in the personal, imminent return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (Acts 1:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

We believe the redemptive work of Christ on the Cross provides healing for the human body in answer to believing prayer (Isaiah 53:4, 5; James 5:14, 15; 1 Peter 2:24).

Lord of the Harvest Church held its first service on February 7th, 1999 with 9 people in attendance. The services were held in the clubhouse of West Glen Park, a trailer park community on the west side of Indianapolis. In June of 1999 the church moved its services to the Hampton Inn on the east side of Indy and remained there for 16 months. In October of 2000 the church began leasing its first permanent  location with 1200 sq. ft. This was the church’s first real established location; a place where it could grow and reach out. The new location allowed the church the opportunity to offer a nursery during services, a teen ministry and a mid-week service. In October 2001 the church began its food pantry which feeds families on a monthly basis. In 2003 the church began a youth ministry on Saturday’s with children from around the city. In February of 2004 the church opened a home for troubled teen girls and on August 3rd of 2005 the church launched its first T.V. broadcast “Harvest Now”. The T.V. ministry also caused the church to launch a prayer line for the viewing audience. This and the other ministries at LOTH caused the church to out grow it's location on Shadeland Ave. March 17th of 2008 the church purchased its first building with 9,000 sq. ft. The church plans to build a youth sanctuary on to the exisiting building and eventually opening a daycare and Christian School.
