We couldn’t celebrate our Pastors and Church Anniversary without celebrating the ones who brought this church from vision to reality! Bishop Lyle Dukes and Pastor Deborah Dukes founded Harvest Life Church in 1995 and have built it up into a thriving church that is making an indelible mark on the community and around the world through evangelism and service.  Harvest Life Church is also the headquarters facility for Churches United, a global organization founded by Bishop and Pastor Dukes that brings churches together to advance God’s Kingdom. For all of the souls saved, lives changed, marriages restored, people healed, relationships mended, children and families fed, clothed and more…we say “Thank You!” We invite you to join the celebration of this anointed man and woman of God with powerful speakers – Pastor Lorene Poindexter at our 9:15 am service and Bishop Eric Garnes at our 11:30 am service, the Harvest Life Choir and so much more!
