About Us: 

In October of 1956, about ten committed Christian families assembled to form Harvest Baptist Church, the very first authentication of what is now the well-established Greendale Baptist Church of Greendale, Wisconsin. These ten faithful families held their initial meetings in several homes, on the south side, in the city of Milwaukee as they worshipped the Lord and studied His Word. Seeing that the Lord was unfolding His purpose and plan for them, they began to experience spiritual growth both individually and as a church body. Harvest Baptist was beginning to reap its first harvest.

In February of 1957, they rented a store building on Delaware Avenue in Bay View, a small town in close proximity of Greendale and Milwaukee, and continued to grow. These dedicated families then took the next step and purchased used pews for the use of worship services in their new place of gathering. The basement area of the building served adequately as the place for Sunday school.

About six months later, the Lord led in the purchase of a small church building, with a parsonage, at 2425 West Ramsey Avenue in the City of Milwaukee. The church auditorium held about sixty people and was undoubtedly more accommodating than the previous gathering location.
