H20 Bible Study

H2O is a friendly group of people, married and single, retired and not yet retired. They love simply being together, welcoming newcomers, and growing together in their life with God. Currently they are discussing the fruits of the Spirit. They also have adopted Community Cancer Network (CCN) as a shared mission. They collect donation items for those in our community battling cancer, and every year they organize a group to walk in CCN’s Carry the Torch.

Meeting Schedule: 2nd and 4th Sunday of the Month at 6:00pm

Lydia's Circle

Near a riverbank in 1st-century Greece, a group of women gathered regularly for prayer. One of those women was Lydia (Acts 16). Lydia’s legacy continues, as this group of women gathers for prayer, encouragement, and bible study.

Meeting Schedule: 2nd Tuesday of the month at 10:00 a.m.

Location: Heartland

Men's Fellowship

Let’s be honest: it’s easier for us to stay alone in our ‘man caves’ and watch TV in our spare time. But we were meant for more. That’s why Men’s Fellowship exists. Men of all ages are welcome. We also host special events throughout the year.

Meeting Schedule: 3rd Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m.

Location: Heartland

Contact: Joe Pruitt at jwpruitt@frontier.com

Priscilla's Circle

One of the strong, smart women of the New Testament, Priscilla is called by Paul his “co-worker in Christ Jesus” (Romans 16:3). It’s the aim of this group to follow in her footsteps, growing together in the knowledge and grace of Jesus through fellowship, fun, and study.

Meeting Schedule: 1st Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m.

Location: Members homes

Location: The Home of Larry and Ruth

“Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another.”

Hebrews 10: 24-25
FOR LOCAL MISSIONS PAGE

Mission Lafayette

Mission Lafayette is an initiative of our Student Ministry, but it involves the whole congregation. Many youth groups go on domestic or international mission trips each summer. That's a good thing. But through a period of discernment, our student ministry decided it was better to stay local. Here's why:
​
  • Year-round partnerships: since our mission partners are local, we can work with them year-round

  • More congregational involvement: since our mission trip is local, the whole congregation can get involved by serving meals, chaperoning trips, assisting on mission activities, etc.
    ​
  • More congregations involved: rather by staying local, we can partner with local churches to have a wider impact and more people for activities
    ​
  • Wise stewardship: rather than spend gobs of money on travel expenses, we are able to pour it directly into mission efforts
FOR LOVING OTHERS PAGE

Hershey Elementary

Loving our neighbors means loving our actual neighbors. That’s why we’ve partnered with the school closest to us for over a decade. From mentoring, to before and after school care, to food assistance, we want to bless this school in Jesus’ name.

Mission Lafayette

This is a church-wide movement of local missional engagement spearheaded by our youth every summer. We partner with at least one other church and several local organizations for a week of service, devotion, and fun.

  • What to Expect
  • Kids and Youth
  • Sermon Series

It's not easy to walk through new doors. That's why everyone who does, receives a warm greeting by our Welcome Team. It's their job to make you feel at home...and they love doing it!

What should I wear?

Come as you are and wear whatever you like! Jeans or suits, slacks or overalls, T-shirts or button-downs: all are welcome. We believe Jesus when he said, "Don't worry about what you will wear." We're not worried. We don't want you to be either.

What is worship like?

Our service has three movements: 1) We approach God, 2) We experience God's Word, and 3) We respond to God. To learn more about a typical Sunday service visit our worship page.

Will I be expected to contribute financially?

No. The offering is for those who call Heartland 'home'. As our guest, we simply hope that the worship service has been a gift to you.

Is your service traditional or contemporary?

Yes! We strive to worship God in a way that is true to who we are. Since we are truly an intergenerational community, this means worshiping in a way that taps into the hearts, minds, and spirits of all ages of people. Therefore, some elements of our worship are rooted in the Christian tradition: "passing the peace," singing the "Doxology," partaking of Communion weekly, and signing a hymn or two. Other elements of our worship give witness to the newness of God's work among us: contemporary statements of faith, relevant sermons, and newer songs played with a piano, a guitar, and a box drum.

Do I have to believe to belong?

Absolutely not. We especially welcome the curious, the doubting, the skeptical, and the broken. After all, we've all been there. And Jesus welcomed us.

Nursery:

During worship, the nursery is attended by at least one adult volunteer or more, depending on the need. Check-in begins at 9:15 a.m. As a registered childcare during the week, we pride ourselves on a clean environment and trustworthy volunteers. There is also a private space available for nursing mothers. If you would like to keep your child/ren with you during the service feel free to go in and out of the worship center as needed. (Many of our young parents do!)

What's Happening at HCC

"The Church exists by mission, just as a fire exists by burning." - Emil Brunner

Heartland's aim is not to make good church members, but to participate in God's rescue operation of the world. The world is broken. Our relationships are broken. We are broken. Our mission is to join Jesus in putting the pieces back together. So whether you have much faith, little faith, or no faith, you are invited to join us in making the world a better place.

Justin Myers

Justin serves as the Associate Director of Al Amana Center in Oman, building bridges between Muslims and Christians to work for the common good of all. Their unique educational approach allows for Christians “to bring their full faith in Jesus to the table of dialogue,” as the Director recently said. In the same way, people of others religions are also “given the space to share from deeply within their own traditions and scriptures.” They have found that this model of interfaith dialogue deepens Christians commitment to their own faith in Christ, while also creating meaningful relationships with non-Christians.
