Our Start

Our Start and Our Pastors

During the summer of 2009, God began to bring together the vision of a small group of people and a church starter. That vision was simple… create a place where anyone, from any walk of life, could connect with God… a vision to remove the barriers that that so easily keep people out of the church and away from the Good News that Jesus is the way to connect with God the Father. As the vision grew, so did the task of starting a church for imperfect people.

That was Stuttgart Harvest Church and in 2021 they did it again and started The Church In Malvern.

Each one is the perfect place for imperfect people. If you feel you have it all together in life then you won’t be happy there. We are imperfect people but we love and serve a perfect God.

We are farmers, nurses, homemakers, business owners, children, students, college students, adults, senior adults, technicians, mechanics, teachers, business people, carpenters, truck drivers, laborers, brokers, artists, musicians and much more… all imperfect… all part of the harvest… all in the harvest … we are Stuttgart Harvest Church and The Church In Malvern.
