BRIEF HISTORY
Driven by a vision of raising Models, empowering Saints and fulfilling destinies, Harvest House Christian Center (HCC) started as Oasis of Faith Christian Center on 9th April 1992 at Bolajoko Nursery and Primary School, a small 10×12 feet room in the city of Ibadan with a membership of less than 15 people; most of whom were secondary school students. It later became Harvest International Church (HIC) in September 1996.
In the course of time, with more students from higher institutions of learning in attendance, HCC campus operations kicked off at the University of Ado-Ekiti (UNAD), and later at Ibadan Polytechnic and Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) and Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) and University of Ibadan.In 1998, HCC moved her operations to the Bronx Club in Ibadan, later to 2nd Floor Iyaniwura House, Basorun in Ibadan in 1999 and then SDM Events Center, Ibadan. HCC presently holds services at three different campuses in Ibadan—Alpha Cathedral (Police Bus Stop, Akobo Ibadan); Metro Church (Mauve 21 Events Center Adeoyo Junction, MKO Abiola way, Ring Road, Ibadan); and Life Center (Bashmol Hall, along Holy Trinity Grammar School road, Abayomi Estate, Old-Ife road Ibadan).
In September 2006, HCC Lagos was inaugurated under the pastoral care of Pastor Tunde-Success Osideko at the Tastee Fried Chicken eatery, Ogba-Lagos. The church has been experiencing additions in all her meetings. HCC Lagos now worships in a larger facility at the Novus Centre, 12K Nana Okuribido Street, Ismail Estate, Idiroko, Maryland Lagos.
The church has also grown to have strong expressions in Abuja Nigeria (Merit House, Aguiyi Ironsi Street, Maitama, Abuja), South Africa, United Kingdom and North America.
HarvestHouse has been relevant to different categories of people through its various ministries like the Move Your World Conferences and the Vision House (Media Ministry).

OUR CORE VALUES
KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is the reason for decision. A man’s ignorance explains his crisis. The primary avenue for acquiring knowledge is study. When you know better than others they will follow you without asking questions. Proverbs 1:5
SERVICE
Service is like a fragrance. It lingers longer than the actual moment when it is rendered. Serving God is privilege. It is an opportunity to honour God and live a life of relevance. Serve must be rendered to God with understanding and sincerity of heart. For every act of service there is a reward both in this life and in the life to come.
SACRIFICE
There is a cost for the oil in your alabaster box. Commitment is the key that opens all doors. Every leader needs an altar. The strength of an altar is determined by the fire on it and there can be no fire without a sacrifice.
OBEDIENCE
Obedience is required to protect God’s purpose and heaven’s agenda. When God asks a man to do something, he may not know how but he must learn to trust him. Sacrifice is good but obedience is better.
WE PREACH THE GOSPEL
Heaven is the Home of the saved, not religious or the moral. There is a difference between being white washed. White – if yo do not preach men will not be saved.
WORSHIP
Worship is placing appropriate value on someone whose presence you cannot do without and whose absence you cannot afford. It is recognizing God as the only irreplaceable constant. In your life, placing immense premium on God. We’ll never outgrow the need for intimacy with God and worship is key.
TRAINING
It is a act of making investments in the becoming possibilities of another. It is both instructional and practical. If you must reign you must be trained-training is required for exploits. A good athlete is a product of an excellent coach.
AUTHORITY
Worship is placing appropriate value on someone whose presence you cannot do without and whose absence you cannot afford. It is recognizing God as the only irreplaceable constant. In your life, placing immense premium on God. We’ll never outgrow the need for intimacy with God and worship is key.
