Our History

Harvest is an independent Baptist church with deep roots in the community of Blacksburg, VA.On April 23, 1961, several families and college students began meeting for worship and Bible study at the home of Dr. Henry Morris, the chair of the Civil Engineering department at Virginia Tech. The goal of the meetings was to reach the Virginia Tech faculty, staff, and students for Christ. On February 11, 1962, the church was formally organized.

For almost 60 years, this body of believers has been steadfast in its commitment to sharing the love of Christ to the Blacksburg and Virginia Tech communities.
