​
While on any given Sunday, one may hear Bishop Bady leading the congregation in the confession of Harvest Time Church’s core values, “We exist for God’s glory; Evangelism is our #1 priority”, these core values are nothing new for this inspiring man of God. Long before titles, degrees, and national pulpits and platforms, as a student at the University of Texas; Austin, Texas, Shelton Bady passionately initiated crusades in the park where he would preach the good news that Jesus saves to anyone who would listen. Crowds gathered to hear him speak and watch his signature mark exuberant dancing praise unto the Lord. That passion for souls and praising God continues to ignite the atmosphere of Harvest Time Church, located in the Greenspoint Community, where Bishop Bady challenges thousands on a weekly basis to live according to the word of God thus fulfilling vision “to make ready a people prepared for the Lord” Luke 1:17.​
