Bishop Randy Borders portrait
The Short Version

Rooted In Faith Harvest Church Since May 1990

Since May 1990, Randy Borders has served as founder and Senior Pastor of Faith Harvest Church. Over more than three decades of pastoral leadership, he has built a reputation as a dependable Bishop, a Senior Church Leader, and a much sought after speaker and coach.

In April 1997, he also established Harvest Church Ministries International, a network of local churches that share common values and a shared commitment to establishing and strengthening thriving congregations, and has served in significant leadership within the broader Christian community, including the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship.

Borders is a published author, and in this season of his life and ministry he is focused on building up new leaders and coaching current leaders toward growth and expansion. He is often contacted by corporate leaders for direction and advice, and takes this positioning in the marketplace seriously.

He feels called to work within the church and beyond its four walls, traveling extensively throughout the United States and abroad as a lecturer, conference speaker, revivalist, and seminar speaker, always looking for the next opportunity to pour into others through speaking, mentoring, and coaching.
