There are a

number of things about Heritage Harvest Church that are

unique, the first one being it has its own logo.

It is a

shaft of wheat blowing in the wind indicating the members

are ready to be harvested to do God's work.

Not very

many churches in Fayette County have schools or colleges

on campus, but beginning this fall, Heritage will have

one entitled "Harvest International Bible

Institute." At the beginning there will be a

one-day-a-week seminar, each Friday at 7:30 p.m. The

church is expected to add additional hours soon.

An adult

mission group from this church and several others will

travel to Viet Nam and Indonesia in November. They will

spend several weeks conducting Bible studies both on land

and on churches that are on boats. Participants will go

through ministry team training before going.

The

church's youth are busy this summer in assisting youth

groups in surrounding counties in Bible studies.

This

nine-year-old congregation began in Fayetteville, first

in a store front and then merging with another church.

Last year it added a new 250-seat sanctuary onto its

original one. The former sanctuary was used for Sunday

School rooms and an enlarged nursery.

Pastor Ron

Stribling adds another rare feature by being one of the

few pastors in the county to be born and reared in the

Atlanta area.

The church

is a member of the Interdenominational Apostolic

Ministries, which includes 500 churches world wide. They

are in covenant with one another and are accountable to

each other for their actions and ministries.

Heritage

Harvest Church is at 1653 Ga. Highway 85 south and can be

reached at 770-460-9801.
