On a quiet street, nestled in the heart of New Orleans, stands Gentilly Greater Harvest Baptist Church. This unassuming yet resilient church holds a story as deep and rich as the city itself. Gentilly Greater Harvest Baptist Church was founded in October 1959 by the late Reverend Erskin Taylor Jr. The year 1965 marked a significant milestone when the church officially became incorporated. Later, in 1993, it achieved 501c3 non-profit status. Hurricane Katrina, a defining moment in New Orleans’ history, left its mark on the church in 2005, causing significant damage. Yet, like the city itself, Gentilly Greater Harvest Baptist Church rose from the wreckage, a testament to the unwavering faith of its congregation. The church building we see today was rebuilt in 1999 on the very same spot where it originally stood. The spirit of Gentilly Greater Harvest Baptist Church continues to thrive under the leadership of Reverend Calvin Barrett. He was elected and installed as Pastor in June 2009, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a dedication to serving the community. The church stands as a beacon of hope, a place where faith and resilience intertwine, reminding us that even in the face of adversity, the human spirit, much like this sacred space, can be rebuilt, renewed, and filled with life.
