Heartland Community Church

About this church

Heartland Community Church worships and hears preaching Sundays at 9 a.m. GPS Kids Church serves fifth grade and younger after children are dismissed from congregational worship. At 10:30, adults attend classes, young people gather for youth group, and children join age-based GPS classes. Life Groups ordinarily meet in homes on three Wednesdays each month at 7 p.m., and Friday prayer begins at 6:30. The south-side main entrance is directly off County Road 150; additional parking is on the north side with an entrance from Straight Street. Recent messages are available on YouTube.

Heartland calls itself the hub of an intentional “community of hope” that includes church members, area friends, staff, residents, and participants in year-long recovery programs. Its mission moves through evangelizing, encouraging, educating, equipping, and activating disciples in a Christ-centered community. The congregation began in a converted machine shed near LaBelle in 1995 and moved into its current sanctuary beside the school in 2019, allowing Sunday children and youth programs to share school facilities. Its history describes an unusually international rural congregation, with worshipers connected to countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Mission teams have served alongside partners in countries including Mexico, Colombia, India, the Philippines, Egypt, Thailand, and Tanzania. Heartland's public information omits worship length and music, sacramental customs, dress, mobility and hearing accommodations, nursery care and family check-in, volunteer screening, livestream timing, and whether Life Groups keep the three-Wednesday rhythm every month.
