About Us

Harvest Church is a group of ordinary people from all walks of life and nationalities, who have each met an extraordinary God who is transforming our lives. We have come to know Jesus in different ways but are all on a journey to become more like Him and help each other to follow Him. 


We would be delighted to help you in any way.  Please just ask – we’re very approachable and have people dedicated to help you!

Harvest Church (formerly AEFC) have a history dating back 75+ years here in the market town of Alton, Hampshire.  


We are a part of the worldwide family of churches called Commission (a part of Newfrontiers). We are involved with other local churches and work in collaboration with them on many projects in the town, as well as being members of the Evangelical Alliance.

Elders

What is an Elder?

 The Bible calls those who lead the church elders, shepherds, or overseers. We tend to call them elders. This team of godly men is responsible for keeping us on biblical foundations, setting our culture and direction, and showing us what following Jesus looks like.
