Discipling Students
to follow Christ
Parents, stay up-to-date on all things Heartland Students. From ongoing events, ministry updates, and additional resources to help you as a disciple-maker, our email list keeps you informed and equipped. Sign up today.
Our Vision
At Heartland, we partner with parents to help students follow Jesus, proclaim His name, and live in His grace. For students in 6th–12th grade, we create meaningful opportunities to build friendships, develop relationships with trusted leaders, and grow as disciples of Jesus. Because we believe parents are the primary disciple-makers, we don't seek to replace that role—we come alongside families to equip and support parents as they disciple their students at home. Together, we want to see students embrace the call to follow Jesus and help others do the same.

What to expect.
Here are a few things to know about Heartland Students.
Practical Application
Christ-Centered Relationships
Active Participants
We want students to do more than know about Jesus—we want them to know and follow Him in every part of life. We help students connect the truth of God’s Word to the realities of home, school, friendships, and everything in between, equipping them to live faithfully for Christ wherever He has placed them and helping others to do the same.
The Christian life was never meant to be lived in isolation. In a culture increasingly shaped by digital connection and individualism, we want students to experience the joy of real, Christ-centered relationships with peers and trusted leaders. As they learn to follow Jesus together, students are encouraged, challenged, and strengthened in their faith.
Student ministry should never become a silo disconnected from the life of the church. We want students to see that they belong not only to Christ, but also to His body, the local church. We equip students to embrace the family of God and actively participate in the life of the worship, including corporate worship, service, relationships, and mission.

Wednesdays | 6:30 PM
Wednesday nights are a space for students to grow in their faith, build meaningful relationships, and learn to follow Jesus together. After our family meal, students gather for worship, biblical teaching, and small-group conversations led by trusted leaders. These conversations move beyond simply knowing God's Word, helping students wrestle with how it applies to real life and encouraging them to live faithfully for Christ.
Come hungry at 5:15 PM for dinner or simply join us at 6:30 PM for our discipleship hour.
