Statement of Faith:
We acknowledge the Creator-God as our Heavenly Father, infinitely perfect and intimately acquainted with all our ways.
We proclaim Jesus Christ (Yeshua the Messiah of Israel) as our Lord and Savior, God revealed and manifested in human form, the object of our worship and the subject of our praise.
We recognize the Holy Spirit as the third member of the Godhead, incessantly at work convicting, comforting, guiding, and gifting. We declare that God is one God, the only God, who has revealed Himself as the Father of Creation, through Jesus His Son, through His Word (the Bible), and spiritually in our hearts through His Spirit
We affirm our confidence in God's inspired, authoritative Word. We treasure the truths of the Bible and respect its reproofs.
To God Be The Glory Forever!
Praise His Son 'Yeshua' ('Jesus' in Biblical Hebrew)!

Our Story
Harvest Ministries began as a dream...
Harvest Ministries began as a dream of Pastor Rubie Rubinstein. His heart was to feed the hungry, help the hopeless, and help get the homeless off of the streets. Pastor Rubie passed on to his reward in 2016, but he left the world, especially Roswell, New Mexico, a better place.
​
Now, over 20 years later, Harvest Ministries is the hub of all food rescue and recovery in Chaves County, distributing hundreds of thousands of pounds of food each year.
​
In August of 2013, Pastor Rubie passed the baton to Pastor Mark Green who has directed the ministry since then.
