Meet The Pastor
Bishop Don Hurth
Bishop D. A. Hurth, has an anointed and unique ministry that promotes reconciliation and redemption for lost souls. He believes that the mission of the church is to minister and exhibit compassion for God’s people without respect to denomination or organization. With boldness and the willingness to serve he accepts the challenge to combat social separation that weakens the Christian church and its families.
Bishop Hurth’s intense desire for an in-depth exploration of spiritual truths and his unique oratory skills makes room for his calling. Hurth firmly believes that, Jesus being raised from the dead with all power, is the perpetual facilitator of all his sermons. Bishop Hurth employs an extraordinary supply of physical energy and intellectual vitality to support his anointing. He helps the saint and sinner alike to understand the immense difficulties in trying to live a Godly life in a sin-infested world; teaching then to believe that following the tenets of God’s Word makes the walk a possibility.
Bishop Hurth began his ministry in Vallejo, CA, at the Tabernacle of David Missionary Baptist Church, tutored and mentored by Rev. R. L. McCray. Hurth returned to his birth home, Decatur, AL in 1984 and for the most of two decades he served as senior pastor at the Greater Peace Tabernacle. In 1992 he responded to what he called, “the silent cry for help,” seeking to rebuild shattered lives on the foundation of Jesus Christ, he founded Reclaiming Our Children (ROC). Roc’s goal is to provide an answer to lifestyles that we face on a daily basis relating to sexuality, social consciousness and religious thought. Yielding his gift to the Holy Spirit, he led those that were confused to a state of peace, and those robed in darkness now walk in the light.
In 1998 Bishop Hurth and faithful followers founded Nations Harvest Assemblies. This intercity church has successfully reached new realms through revelation conducting services in both Decatur, and Anniston, AL. Often referred to as a shepherd of the shattered, Bishop D. A. Hurth has made great strides in the South and abroad to help turn around the lives of those suffering from homeless conditions, drug addiction, and other challenges.
