who are we?

FirstHarvest Bible Church

Is a Christ-centered community dedicated to sharing the Gospel in Protea Glen. We believe that the Word of God transforms lives, and we strive to live out Jesus’ love every day. Our church family comes from many walks of life, united by faith in Jesus Christ. We aim to be a beacon of hope in Soweto, helping people grow spiritually, heal emotionally, and serve others.

our vision:

Our mission is to glorify God by making disciples (Matthew 28:19) and by serving our neighbors in tangible ways. We value authentic worship, strong biblical teaching, and genuine fellowship. At FirstHarvest, you’ll find a place where questions are welcomed, and believers encourage one another. Our doors are always open — whether you want to learn about Jesus, grow in your faith, or simply find a loving community, you have a home here.
