You will find that the people that make up Heartland Baptist are loving people in different stages of Christian growth. No one is perfect but we are seeking to know and live God's will for our lives. We exist to reach those who don't know Christ and help one another become more devoted followers of Jesus.
Our goal is to strengthen and enhance the spirit, quality, and meaningfulness of the congregational worship of Heartland Baptist Church.
Mission Statement
Heartland Baptist Church exists to proclaim Jesus Christ that people would trust Him as Savior, serve Him as Lord, and worship Him in the fellowship of His church while loving one another as Christ loves us.
The Weekly Music Ministry
The music ministry at Heartland, is committed to God-honoring worship that incorporates the use of various styles of music – using choir, praise team and orchestra - as well as drama and visual arts. It is our desire for the worship of our Lord to be a time when believers can fully worship God “in spirit and in truth,” proclaiming who Jesus is and what He has done.

We blend our services to include music which helps believers worship as well as music which takes into account the needs of those from a non-churched background. The worship services are full of energy with the help of piano, organ, bass, drums, keyboard, acoustic and electric guitars, and a weekly 20+ piece orchestra, with a choir of nearly 50 enrolled.. Both traditional hymns and praise and worship are incorporated into each service.


Our Celebration choir sings every Sunday morning. Other ministries include Handbell Choir (by audition), the Praise Team (by audition when there is an opening), Out of the Dark our Youth Ensemble which meets as needed and opportunity arise, Children's Choir.
