 Harvest Bible Church is a church ministering in the Niles-Warren area. Beginning in 2007, it was established as an independent,
non-denominational church, which means we are free from any denominational control. We at Harvest Bible seek to honor God and to have a reverence for Him and His Word. We believe that the Bible is the authority for our lives and it practically applies to each area of our lives, even in the twenty-first century. We do not seek
to entertain, but you will find at our services God-honoring music and the preaching and teaching of God’s precious Word in an understanding and applicable way. It is our desire that people in our community come to know the freedom and joy of having their sins forgiven and walking with their Savior. We desire as well for believers, whether children, singles, seniors, or families, to grow more like Christ, and less like the ungodly world. We would love to have you visit us. |
Pastor Rich Peffer started a Bible study in the summer of 2006, after being burdened for his home area. After fifteen months of leading the Bible study, it began as Harvest Bible Church in September of 2007. Pastor Rich, besides having a heart for people and their relationship with the Lord, has received two masters degrees: one concentrating in pastoral preaching and another in biblical studies.
The reason he is burdened to plant an independent, fundamental, Bible-believing church in this area is that there are none that he knows about. The majority of churches are either heretical that deny the inerrancy, infallibility, and inspiration of Scripture or those that have compromised in some important area. Some churches are compromising by bringing ungodly music into their worship and/or are preaching seeker-sensitive messages filled with man’s philosophies. Some of these churches he would agree with in doctrine, but not in practice. Our pastor believes, out of obedience to God and His Word, that separation from the world, apostasy, and disobedient brethren is absolutely necessary to keep both the gospel and the body of Christ pure.
