Community is a big deal at Heartland! We want to help you find a place to belong at Heartland. Take some time to check out the opportunities there are for you to connect with others as you pursue Jesus. Got questions? Simply head to the Welcome Center in our worship center on Sunday, or contact Pastor Alex to help you find a place to connect! You can reach him at (618) 462-1276 or .
We are committed to see all people grow in their faith and find community. Small Groups are vital to each of those. Being a part of a small group allows you to build friendships, be encouraged, and study the Bible with others in a smaller setting than our worship services. Small groups meet at 9:15 am with a time for coffee and donuts in the Fellowship Hall beginning at 8:45 am. No matter your stage of life, there is a small group for you. Below is a list of our small groups. You can also sign up or request more information about a group by clicking the button below the list.

All men face common challenges as they seek to be who God has called them to be in their schools, jobs, marriages, and families. Our men's ministry will encourage you to stand strong and trust in Christ. Join us on Sunday nights at 5:30 pm for Men's Bible Study as help one another understand and apply God's Word to our lives.

From Bible studies and conferences to small get-togethers and community events, our women's ministry serves to connect women from all walks of life, helping them grow in their faith together. Join us each Sunday night at 5:30 pm for Women's Bible Study in room 48. This Fall we will be doing a study through Proverbs. We also have "Cultivate" every other month where our ladies of all ages come together for fellowship and study to cultivate our relationships with God and other women.
