Welcome to Harvest Baptist Church
A warm church family centered on the Word of God.
We are a caring congregation in Carthage, Texas. Whether you are looking for a new place of worship or just passing through, we would love to have you as our guest.
"The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." Matthew 9:37-38
The good news
The Gospel
The heart of everything at Harvest Baptist Church is the good news of Jesus Christ.
The Bible tells us that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). On the cross, Jesus took the punishment our sins deserved, and by rising from the grave He defeated death and opened the way to eternal life for all who trust in Him.
None of us could ever earn our way to God. No amount of good works, church attendance, or good intentions could make us right with a holy God. Salvation is not a reward for the good we do. It is a free gift of God's grace, received through faith in the finished work of Jesus alone.
"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
The invitation is simple, and it is for everyone. Trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ and receive the free gift of eternal life. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Romans 10:9).
If you have questions, or if you would like to know more about following Jesus, we would love to talk and pray with you.
