Senior Pastor Profile

Pastor Daniel Di Paolo

Pastor Daniel Di Paolo was born and raised in Laval, Quebec. From an early age, those around him recognized a clear call of God on his life. At just 14 years old, he began preaching and traveling with his parents, ministering to youth across Quebec and the United States.

Sensing a call to full-time ministry, he moved to Ohio to study at World Harvest Bible College. During his time there, he devoted himself to the study of Scripture while serving in ministry at World Harvest Church. After graduating in 2003, he returned to Laval with a deep passion to see God move powerfully in the city where he was raised.

In 2004, God placed a vision on his heart to begin a Bible study in his parents' home. What started with around 10 people quickly outgrew the space, confirming that God was building something greater.

That step of faith led to the birth of Church of the Harvest. On September 3, 2006, the first public service was held at 765 Boulevard Laval in the heart of Chomedey, with more than 90 people gathering to worship and encounter God.

In the same year, the church launched Pro-Vision Laval, a ministry that continues today as a registered non-profit food bank. Through weekly food distributions, Christmas baskets, and back-to-school outreach, it now provides practical help and hope to over 100 families each week in the community.

In 2008, Pastor Daniel married his wife, Sandra. Together, they are raising two sons, Joshua (born in 2010) and Luca (born in 2012). Family remains a central part of his life and ministry.

In 2013, Church of the Harvest launched a French service, which has continued to grow and bear fruit through many life-changing testimonies. Pastor Daniel often emphasizes the importance of a strong leadership team, whose faithfulness helps carry the vision and strengthen the church.

His heart is to see people encounter God, grow in their faith, and step into the purpose God has for their lives.

All for the glory of God.
