About Us...
Meet Pastors Kimon and Bridgette Criner. They have been pastoring Harvest Barn Church for more than 20 years. With passion and humor, They teach the Bible in a way that makes it easy to understand just how much God loves people and how He has destined each of us to live a satisfying life.
What We Believe...
"I will never leave you or forsake you."
-Jesus
“For the kingdom of God is not meat or drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” Romans14:17
“For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10:10
When we call on the name of Jesus, we are translated into the kingdom of God. We become the very apple of His eye, a winner, a new person with a new life.
"Praise the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Let Israel rejoice in Him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. Let them praise His name in the dance: let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp. For the Lord takes pleasure in His people.” Psalm 149:1-4
Praise gets God's attention. By lifting up the name of Jesus, we align ourselves with God’s heart and ability to move on our behalf. We recognize who we are in Him, how He works through us, and celebrate the victorious life He has provided.
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2
Going to church isn’t about a system of does and don’ts. It’s about enjoying a personal relationship with God, free from religious restrictions. The truth is, God loves us -- the good, the bad and the ugly. As we grow in our relationship with Him, we change as we take on His nature.
“And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name they shall cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; … they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” Mark 17:16-18
We are instructed to do the works of Jesus today, inside and outside our churches. This power can save a marriage, heal a neighbor and deliver a drug addict. Church isn’t church without the power of the Holy Spirit flowing freely.
