Harvest Life Fellowship

Stepping into a world of faith and transformation, we find ourselves before Harvest Life Fellowship. This journey began in a humble music classroom at Potomac High School in 1995. Bishop Lyle Dukes, Pastor Deborah Dukes, and their daughter Pastor Brittany held the first service of what would become Harvest Life Fellowship. Their vision was to touch lives with the power of Jesus Christ. Harvest Life Fellowship’s story is a testament to faith and growth. From the initial service in a high school to purchasing and paying off a former Levitz furniture store in just three years, their journey is remarkable. This five-million-dollar facility on Telegraph Road became a cornerstone of their ministry. Harvest Life Fellowship didn’t stop there. They expanded their reach through television broadcasts, starting locally and eventually going international via The Inspirational Network. They even produced and released two choir CD projects, one of which reached the Billboard top twenty. The church’s impact extends beyond the United States. In 2009, they completed a 2,000-seat Harvest Conference Center in Nakuru, Kenya. This center serves the local community with worship services, pastoral training, and food and clothing distribution. Harvest Life Fellowship continued to evolve, breaking ground on a new location on Neabsco Mills Road in 2011. This state-of-the-art, 204,000-square-foot building includes a sanctuary with over 2,000 seats, an Event Center, a Community Reach Center, and much more. In 2022, Bishop and Pastor Deborah Dukes founded Churches United, a global organization connecting over 400 congregations worldwide. The Telegraph Road location was sold, and the focus shifted to completing the Neabsco Mills Road building. Harvest Life Fellowship’s story is one of constant progress, driven by faith and a commitment to community.
