In February of 2015, after 15 years of ministry at Relate Church in
Byram, MS, Les and Angela sensed God leading them to take a step
of faith: to leave their life, family and church, pull up roots and
simply trust him for their next steps. Les knew their first step was to
move to Birmingham, AL and join Church of the Highlands. Once in
Birmingham, Les enrolled into Highlands College, the ministry
training college of Church of the Highlands. Soon after, God began
to speak to Les and Angela about church planting. Without a doubt,
Les, a Jacksonville, TX native, knew they were supposed to plant a
life-giving church in the Piney Woods region of East Texas and call
it, Church of the Pines.
From that point, God began to birth the vision for Church of the
Pines in Les. He began to dream about a church that would lead
people into an “evergreen life”…a life that is full and vibrant, in
every season. In October of 2016, God showed Les and Angela it
was time to take their next step and begin the process of planting
Church of the Pines in Tyler, TX.
Les and Angela Harvey lead Church of the Pines
in Tyler, TX. They answered the call to ministry
in 2000 and were married in 2001. They are
passionate about helping people discover their
God-given purpose. Les loves Dallas Cowboys
football, golf, traveling, and doing whatever
makes Angela happy. Angela loves all things
design, exploring new cities, and antiquing
with friends. They have one daughter,
Mia and reside in Tyler.
Weekends at COTP are inspiring, fun and life-giving. Pines is a casual environment. Come as you are! You’ll be warmly greeted outside and directed toward the entrance. Before the worship experience, pick up a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Then make your way to your seat and prepare for an uplifting worship experience as well as a relevant, engaging message from our pastor, Les Harvey.
We love kids!
Pines Kids is our children’s ministry and we have designed specifically with your child in mind. Every weekend, children (birth - 5th grade) experience safe, age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught in a creative and relevant way. Our team will meet your family and assist you through our secure check-in process. Pines Kids is a fun, safe and clean learning place for all kids
And finally,
If you are a guest, we will not embarrass you, have you stand up, or ask you to give money. We know that many people want to check out the church and be anonymous for awhile and that’s fine with us! We would love to offer you a special gift for being with us. Simply drop by the tent on the front porch and we can answer any questions you may have. Come in, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, and see if Church of the Pines is for you.
We’ve designed our weekend worship experience with you in mind! Modern music, relatable messages, casual atmosphere and huge fun for the kids.
We believe our job is simply to create an atmosphere where you, your family and your friends can have an authentic encounter with Jesus.
Also, enjoy a bottomless cup of local coffee in a fun atmosphere. We can’t wait to worship with you!
