Home / About Us / History In 1988 a group of eighteen people from across the northwest Chicago suburbs had a vision to start Harvest Bible Chapel. The church met in Rolling Meadows with James MacDonald as the Senior Pastor. Today, over 10,000 people call this church their home as they worship Christ together on three campuses.

In 2000 Harvest planted their first church in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, and announced the vision to start 10 churches in 10 years. Harvest Bible Fellowship was formed to edify, protect, encourage, and support these new churches. God continues to raise up Harvest Bible Chapels throughout the world.

September 9, 2007 saw the launch of Harvest Bible Chapel Gurnee. We are excited to witness God’s life-changing power at work in northern Lake County region.  To be part of God's history through Harvest Bible Chapel Gurnee, please contact us at .
