Get To Know Us...

What makes Harper Road Free Will Baptist Church special? It is the caring people God has brought to this ministry. We are a congregation of about 130 average attendance. You will not find a friendlier, more loving, compassionate group of believers anywhere. Our church is here to serve through specially designed ministries and church-wide activities throughout the year. It is here where relationships are made and where Christ is magnified. The church was established in September 1962. It endured many hardships during those early years. Most notably was in 1972 when a fire destroyed the original building on Easter Sunday. The members stood firm and rebuilt the church. The church was able to add additional facilities later to give us what we currently enjoy.
In the last five to ten years, the church has grown to the point that the existing facilities have become crowded. While the sanctuary can accomodate up to 180, our classroom and fellowship hall space is not enough to handle that much growth. In 2005, God opened the doors to allow Harper Road to purchase 27 acres of property directly behind the church. We are within about a year of having that property paid off. We have a vision of building new facilities on that property within the next few years if God permits. While we have grown numerically, and are looking forward to continued growth, both in numbers and in facilities, those are not our main objectives. Our goal and chief end is to give God the glory in every apect of our lives, and to grow the Kingdom of God, beginning in our local Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and ultimately, to the ends of the earth. Yes we are growing, and we praise God that so many have found a place to call home.
We are saving a place for you.
