Harvest bible chapel12/28/2023 In 2009, the Lord began to place a desire in the hearts of the Elders at Harvest Oakville to see a Harvest Bible Chapel planted in Ottawa. In early 2019, Harvest Bible Chapel Oakville changed their name to Hope Bible Church Oakville – a fitting name for the proclamation of the Hope that is found in Jesus Christ alone! In 2017, after the dissolution of the Harvest Bible Fellowship, Harvest Oakville joined the Great Commission Collective, which is an international family of churches that exist to glorify God by planting, strengthening, and multiplying Great Commission churches around the world. Since 2009, the Lord has continued to build His church through Harvest Oakville by planting churches in Brampton (2009), Niagara (2011), Toronto West (2013), Brantford (2014), Kelowna (2014). However, this kind of unprecedented event was a sign of what God was up to and what He will do to accomplish His will in building His Church! This was an incredible process that presented many challenges. In what can only be described as miraculous, God arranged for Calvary Baptist Church to become Harvest Bible Chapel Oakville, which included giving Harvest their church building, their property and, most importantly, their people. It was in the early fall of 2003 that God clearly led the leadership from HBC Oakville to be connected with the leadership from Calvary Baptist Church in Oakville. By the grace of God this core group continued to grow and develop and attract high quality disciples of Christ. When those quarters became too tight, the Bible study was moved to a church basement in Mississauga. The first Bible study met in a local office space. It wasn’t long before ideas were being articulated, prayer meetings were being scheduled and plans were underway for the launch of the second Canadian Harvest Bible Chapel.Ī Bible study began in the summer of 2003 in response to the demand from people who were passionate about this church plant. Through supernatural circumstances, a core group of people was formed and the momentum was building. In early 2003, God placed a calling and a dream within a small group of people to see a Harvest Bible Chapel come to the Greater Toronto Area.
