About Us
Our Church History
Harvest Baptist Church was established as a church in Palmerston North in October 2004 by Missionary Guy Bankston.
The church met at Parkland School Hall for its first service and remained meeting there for several years until the church purchased its own property on 702 Main Street.
As we have seen God faithfully bless people's lives and families over the years, we strive to please God and be a beacon of truth for the world to see God’s amazing work in the city of Palmerston North.
