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.

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.
