Pastor Rod Parsley.

World Harvest Church had its beginnings with 17 people meeting in the backyard of the home of Pastor Parsley's parents in the spring of 1977. The congregation soon moved into rented facilities in a local warehouse. Within two years, the Wright Road property had been purchased and a sanctuary seating 180 people had been built. In the summer of 1982 that sanctuary was expanded, doubling the seating capacity. Soon the congregation had grown to the point that a second Sunday morning service was added to accommodate the people. This soon prompted another building program, and in 1984 an adjoining 1,200 seat sanctuary was occupied.

Property on Gender Road was purchased for the new sanctuary complex and ground was broken in the summer of 1986. The new facilities occupied in November of 1987, housed a 5,200 seat auditorium, television studio, children's ministry, the growing Harvest Preparatory School, and the administrative offices.

Today the church facility encompasses 57 acres and includes a 5200 seat sanctuary, children's and Youth Ministry, Family Life, Ministry Resource Centers, Bookstore, and Administrative offices, and our 122,000 square foot Ministry Activity Center which is a place of ministry to the needs of the whole family . . . and the nation.
