Passing the mantle at Harvest Christian Church


CORNING - Corning's longtime Senior Pastor Rob Kee is passing the mantle of his commission to Harvest Christian Center to local resident the Rev. Mike Sharp.
Sharp and his wife Stephanie have been under the mentorship of  Kee for 10 years. During this time they have proven themselves to be faithful leaders to this congregation, according to Kee.
They have both gone through the Ministerial Internship Program, are both licensed ministers with the Church of God, Cleveland, Tenn., and Sharp has his associate's of theology degree as well. Sharp¹s first official service as senior pastor will be March 2.
The current leadership team and ministering membership will stay intact and are in full support of this transition, according to Kee. Kee and his wife Belinda feel honored to be able to entrust their precious congregation to such a competent staff of leaders and are confident that God is making these changes to further the work of spreading the Gospel in Corning and beyond.
For more information, call the Harvest Christian Center office at 824-2091.
