*REMINDER: If you have babies or children in the nursery or kid’s church please do not silence your phone... please keep it handy. Our staff will text you to communicate any assistance needed in regards to your little ones.
* Also, our children cannot congregate in Jubilee‘s gym after church (due to liability issues), HOWEVER, our children can now hang out in Heartland’s Kids Church after church with parental supervision. A few rule though: please do not bring in any food and please make sure the room is completely cleaned up and in order for next Sunday. :)

HEARTLAND VISION:
Heartland Bible Church is a discipleship-focused church that encourages each person to have an authentic relationship with God and with others. Our church is a return to a more intimate form of church. The vision for Heartland comes from the church described in the book of Titus, chapter 2, where mature followers of Christ mentored the younger generation of Christ followers.
"They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." Acts 2:42
