How it all started...
New Harvest Christian Fellowship began humbly but boldly. In December of 1999, seventeen individuals gathered in a home in Pearland under the leadership of Pastor Keith and Ms. Pam Anderson, united by a shared passion for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What started as a small gathering quickly became a growing movement.
Within just four months, attendance had grown to 60, prompting a move to Challenger Elementary School.
During this season, every member became a “chairman,” faithfully setting up and taking down chairs and equipment each week. Though challenges were present, this formative time forged deep relationships, strengthened faith, and established the heart of New Harvest—CONNECT - GROW - SERVE.

Expanding the vision...
By December of 2000, God’s provision became unmistakably clear. A church member secured a 5-acre tract of land, opening the door for the construction of a permanent sanctuary. Soon after, another miracle followed as the fellowship gained the financial ability to purchase both the land and the newly built facility.
The blessings continued when an adjoining 5 acres were generously donated, expanding the campus to 10 acres and positioning New Harvest to minister on a greater scale. During this time, the church grew into a thriving, non-denominational congregation firmly rooted in the infallible Word of God. Our guiding conviction remains simple and unwavering:
“If the Bible says it, we believe it; if Scripture does not address it, it is not our focus.”
Today, people of all backgrounds and ethnicities worship together through contemporary music, life-giving preaching, and transformative Bible study. Prayer remains central to all we do, and we believe the presence of God is the most powerful and secure place to be.
