Dr. Paul Collins, pastor
I am blessed! The last Sunday in June of 2023, I was honored to become the pastor for a great fellowship of Christians. We have our meetings in a beautiful facility known as Branson Church of The Harvest, only a small portion of which is shown at the beginning of this website.
Branson, Missouri is famous for the entertainment venues on 76 Country Music Boulevard (aka “The Strip”); but very near “old downtown Branson” is a venue called Church Of The Harvest, and it is a quaint “chapel-like” building where worshipers have been gathering for many decades. Now, in 2025, something almost unique on the American scene is happening at 501 West College (just 5 blocks up the hill from the famous Veterans Boulevard).
Worship, Word, Songs, Success
WORSHIP, THE PREACHING OF THE WORD, GOSPEL SONGS, AND CONCEPTS FOR SUCCESS are offered every Sunday morning at 10:30.
The public is invited to Branson’s unique experience in a worship gathering where offering plates are never passed but Communion is (every Sunday morning).
So, here we are a church that does not pass the plate for offerings but has one “donation” box at the back of the sanctuary.
I am so very, very blessed to be the man who leads this very special fellowship.
Stop by and be blessed along with me.
Dr. Paul Collins
The Gateway To Change
The Branson Church Of The Harvest is a GATEWAY TO CHANGE because we are consistently open to ways to finding solutions to the problems faced by those who live in this community. Change is often good and sometimes great! We embrace the good AND the great!
Service Center
The Branson Church Of The Harvest is a SERVICE CENTER because we are determined to do our best to meet the needs of our community. The Sunday (and occasional weekday) services are always uniquely designed around the needs discovered by an ongoing research effort. No need is too small! With the input of the community, no need is too large!
Every Sunday
THIS IS A SMALL, VERY PERSONAL SPACE WHERE YOU WILL BE FREE TO FIND AND ENJOY THE TRUTH.
Truth is becoming very elusive in this high tech age of mass communication and rapid transportation. Our world of persons is becoming a world of numbers with an extreme shortage of proper compassion and consideration for mutual welfare.
Truth will enable us to “turn the corner” and begin the preparation for a new and far better world.
GUESTS
Branson Church Of The Harvest has a policy that those who genuinely seek fellowship, information, and inspiration will find all three whenever the doors of the church building are open.
VOLUNTEERS
If you are among those willing to be of service to others but have been unable to find the right place, Branson Church Of The Harvest is a good place to explore. You may find exactly what you are looking for in this community.
BRING A FRIEND
You are welcome always to bring a friend, or two, or three, or however many you have, to Branson Church Of The Harvest to any of the services or programs or community service opportunities.
