World Harvest Church

First started in 1977 in Rod Parsley's parents' backyard, the church consisted of 17 people. Two years later Parsley bought property for the church to be built on. 180 people were attending at this point. In 1982 the seating was doubled. The number of people was so large that a second Sunday morning service was added. This influenced Parsley to upgrade the church, and in 1984 1200 more seats were added. Now sitting on Gender Road in Columbus, Ohio, the church seats over 5,200 people and contains an auditorium, a television studio, a children's ministry that includes Sunday school for children newborn to 6th grade, Harvest Preparatory School, and administrative offices. The church sits on 57 acres (230,000 m²) and is 122,000 square feet (11,300 m²). It was built by Roe Messner. Parsley's Breakthrough television program is taped at the church. Breakthrough is a program put on by the church.

The church also incorporates Valor Christian College, a young, co-educational institution located outside Columbus. It used to be three miles from the church, but now sits on the same property where World Harvest Church is located.

Breakthrough is the television ministry of World Harvest Church. It airs twice a day, six days a week, and is available in 97 percent of the United States and in most other nations. The show features Parsley's sermons as well as interviews with guests, often in front of a studio audience. The programs are produced from a studio on the church's Columbus campus that was formally dedicated in August 2008.

Breakthrough is carried on 1,400 stations and cable affiliates, including Daystar Television Network and Trinity Broadcasting Network. The broadcast is also available internationally on the HotBird6 and Thaicom 3 satellites.

Valor Christian College is a Bible school and general studies college associated with the World Harvest Church located in Columbus, Ohio, on property originally built by World Harvest Church. This college is accredited with the Association for Biblical Higher Education and authorized by the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools to offer Associate of Applied Science degrees and diplomas in Bible and ministry-related studies.
