About Us

Our Story
Years of traveling and ministering all over the world (Cuba, Panama, South Africa, England, Wales, Scotland, Central America, and the United States), years of studying in Bible School and focused prayer, and the experience of being an associate pastor at a powerful growing local church was the preparation needed that launched the Brad and Jana Tuttle into planting The Harvest Church International. 

The Harvest Church International is a non-denominational, Spirit-filled, dynamic local church with a heart to establish God's Kingdom Agenda on earth by affecting its' surrounding communities. Over the past few years God had begun placing a passion in Pastor Brad and Jana to impact their community with the life changing power of Jesus Christ through touching individual lives by meeting their needs both physically, and spiritually. Over months of praying and seeking God, Brad and Jana decided to take the leap of faith and plant The Harvest Church International. This great church started in the living room of their home with 8 people at the first service. From there those attending simply began to invite their friends and family to come and see what God was doing at THCI, and that is how the church began to grow. Soon it was time to leave the living room and find a bigger place to hold services, which has led them to the current location in the Briarhill Middle School in Highland Village off of FM407 at 2100 Briarhill Boulevard. This was a very important, integral move as it strategically positioned us in the field that God has assigned for us. The Tuttle's have lived in the Lewisville/ Highland Village area for the last 13 years. THCI is excited about being in its "own backyard" so to speak and about the future growth and advancement of the church in this awesome area of North Dallas.

THCI is a member of the Kingdom Agenda Fellowship of Churches (KAFOC).

More About Pastor Brad    
Having been in a bar all night and seeing his life for what it was, Brad Tuttle, 27 at the time, drove back to his apartment where, for three hours, he paced the floor. Overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness and despair, he walked into his bedroom, knelt beside his bed, and cried, “Jesus if you are really there come into my life, I trust in You as my Savior, forgive me of my sins, and start me over again.” Instantly he found a freedom he had never experienced, and a love he had never known. Brad was radically saved that night. He immediately began to live all-out for Christ and never looked back.     
      
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” - 2 Corinthians 5:17     
         
God’s call placed Brad in full-time ministry a few years later.
