Church of the Harvest is builidng room form more by almost doubling the size of our current facility on our present campus. We will begin construction this fall (Fall 2012) of a 19,500 square foot addition attached to the north side of our building. The new construction will include a new 500+ seat auditorium, a larage lobby with a cafe, restrooms, adult meeting areas, and new offices. The entire existing builidng will be remodeled into our Next Generation or "NextGen" building - 20,000 square foot of space dedicated to our Children's and Youth Ministries. Once completed, Church of the Harvest will have approximately 40,000 square feet of ministry space on our Blackbob Campus. It is our plan to continue to be a multi-service church in this new facility with the purpose of allowing us to reach more but still keeping the intimacy of a smaller church. In the coming years, this campus will serve as our "Home Base" as we grow further by adding satellite campuses and church plants.
