Church of the Harvest was established in 2000 in Pahokee, FL. In 2001, Glades Area Pantries began serving the needy by distributing free bags of food to all who signed up. Today, there are over 5000 clients, and GAP gives out over 300 bags of food each week. In 2007, Grace Abounds Program was established that offered residences for homeless and/or abused women, with or without children. There are three residences currently that remain filled. In July 2010, Church of the Harvest held a free summer camp for children, and we will be holding the 2011 summer camp for up to eight weeks. From all the exposure to the communities of the Glades, a new call was issued to start a Christian school that ministers to regular as well as special needs children as well as offering a school of the arts emphasis to an area almost devoid of cultural awareness. Christian Academy will begin its first classes - kindergarten through third grade - in August 2011. Each class will accept a maximum of 15 students. Our Goal is to bring Jesus Christ into the classroom and into the lives of our students. Our school is based on teaching and guiding our students to live out His Love, His Forgiveness, His Acceptance of Others, His Desire to Help Others, and His Encouragement to Seek His Father's Will while honing in on the individual gifts of each student and bringing out the best of those gifts given from our Creator. Church of the Harvest's programs: Glades Area Pantries, Grace Abounds Program, and the Community Center does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, s*x, age, or disability.
