About Heartland Church

Heartland Church has always been about meeting people where right where they are. Heartland began very simply in 2001, in a living room with friends and neighbors, some of whom had not been in church for a long time or had never been. For over 25 years, we’ve had one purpose: To love people well, lead people to Jesus, and launch people out to change the world. God loves everyone, and anyone can experience the transformative power of His love and grace. We are a diverse community in every way, and our differences are valuable resources that help us see and hear God better. This, too, began very simply...relationally...one person at a time. We have come from different backgrounds and cultures, with different values and worldviews, but we are united by Christ's sacrificial love and His beautiful Spirit of humility.
