Dr. Paul Collins is blessed …
Yes I am! I am blessed! The last Sunday in June of 2023, I was honored to become the pastor for a great fellowship of Christians known as Branson Church of The Harvest. We have our meetings in a beautiful facility, only a small portion of which is shown at the beginning of this website.
Branson Church of The Harvest (hereinafter in this short essay will be referred to as BCOTH for brevity), is located very close to the downtown of the original Branson, MO. Our small town has grown to about 11,000 in population but has about 10 million visitors a year. These visitors are on vacation or come specifically to attend a music show or enjoy many of the amusement park type locations. Also, we have two lakes for people to enjoy for fishing and boating and I have lost count of the golf courses!
So, here we are offering Holy Communion every Sunday morning at 10:30. Here we are offering a simple church experience every Sunday morning at 10:30. 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.

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.
Join us Sunday 10:30AM

EXPERIENCE COUNTS
Our super charged world of rapid transportation, nearly instantaneous communication, AI, military expansionism, hunger, homelessness, and an overemphasis on entertainment needs the experience that comes by living long. The time is long since past to rid ourselves of the perennial search for younger leaders. What the world needs now is the proven experiential education of...
NEVER TOO LATE TO SAY “WHATEVER”
Are you thankful that another national election “season” is now in the so-called history books? Well, it isn’t over! The pundits have a way to keep on keeping on with the verbiage about all the ins and outs of the election results. Some of the political talking heads want to explain away the results by...
Ho Hum …
After 20 presidential elections in my lifetime, what can I say about number 21? After “living” under 15 presidents, what should I expect from number 16 (who may be a repeat)? I am looking ahead of November 5, 2024 (and this is being written October 31, 2024, appropriately on All Hallows Eve). So, with the...
Musings
Good afternoon, I know you have the date, and the time, so here is the occasion: I have been feeling compelled to write about a FEW of the matters that have been on my mind. 1. Denominations are dying. This is common knowledge but many refuse to accept the fact. 2. Para-church ministries are...
Thoughts Worth Thinking About
1. Grace is not a license to do whatever comes naturally. 2. If you are a Gnostic, a Secularist, a Materialist, a Hedonist, or a Humanist, you are most likely an Atheist. 3. Materialism and Carnality (giving priority to the flesh, pleasure, etc.) are the primary movers in politics because they are the main interests...
LOOKING AND LISTENING
LEARNING BY LOOKING AND LISTENING THEN LOOKING AGAIN ... is something I am promoting as pastor of Branson Church Of The Harvest. It is very obvious that the laity is very much in favor. After many years of formal education, followed by many more years of experience, I am convinced that learning is based on...
TRADITIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL
With a New Look Branson Church Of The Harvest has an educational program that offers Sunday School classes as "the tip of the iceberg." The approach is both traditional and non-traditional by featuring an adults only class that meets at 9:30 AM every Sunday morning and special seminars that meet on Saturday mornings. The seminars...
Educational Opportunities
We at Church Of The Harvest have heard the clarion call for educational opportunities coming from the adults of the Branson, MO area. Therefore, we have taken the initial action of sponsoring the startup of a Sunday morning class. It meets beginning at 9:30 over coffee and breakfast pastries. The class concludes at 10:15 so...

Holy Communion
Body? Blood The first century Christians (called "People of The Way") were sometimes criticized by being called cannibals. This derogatory reference was due to Christians observing the last supper Jesus shared with his twelve disciples wherein he called the bread his body and he called the wine his blood. In this 21st Century, some Christian traditions refer to...
