About Harvest Bible Chapel of Rockford

Welcome
Whether you are seeking to know more about Jesus Christ, or long to be a part of a community of people who are passionate about following Jesus, you are welcome here. Here at Harvest Bible Chapel we believe life’s greatest satisfaction is found in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and that He liberates us from our sin and corresponding guilt. We are committed, therefore, to laying out the biblical picture of this glorious God and modeling our lives and love after Jesus. So convinced of Christ’s power to transform our broken lives, we want others to experience this with us.

Mission
The mission of Harvest Bible Chapel Rockford is to glorify God through the fulfillment of the Great Commission. Our obedience to this mission is the foundation of every Harvest ministry. From worship services to Children's Ministry to Student and Adult Ministries, our chief aim is to make authentic disciples of Christ who follow His ways in their Worship, their Walk, and their Work.
History
Harvest Bible Chapel in Rockford was launched in March of 2003 after months of prayer and preparation by approximately 25 men and women committed to planting a new church in this city. Harvest is part of a larger fellowship of churches stemming from the original Harvest Bible Chapel of Rolling Meadows. As of October 2007, we moved from meeting in a local high-school to purchasing our own building and property located on 5501 Windsor Road in Loves Park, a suburb of Rockford.
