Missions Gathering Recap 2024
One of the highlights of our Heartland Community Church calendar is the annual Missions Gathering, where we host many of our friends from around the world for a time of refreshing and renewal. Around 40 international guests joined us in 2024 as we heard a message of “Stand Firm” and encouraged one another through the Word, prayer and fellowship.
“Standing firm is about all of us together standing, trusting God for His deliverance, not being afraid, relying on the Holy Spirit, actively praying and worshiping, each doing their part, and all of us believing and living as people who hear the voice of God,” exhorted Pastor Kris Palmer. “We are to do this wherever He calls and in whatever church He has set us so that in doing His will His way, the darkness is pushed back, and the kingdom of God advances forward until He comes.”
The video recap shows highlights of those times together, along with a look at many of the Church members who volunteered to serve during those days.

Walking Through Recovery | Nick’s Story
Nick’s journey with addiction began at age seven due to an abusive stepfather. Watching his stepfather numb himself with alcohol, Nick discovered alcohol could numb his pain too, but that only led to hitting absolute rock bottom with a suicide attempt in 2018. The 12-step program helped him get back on his feet, but four years later, Nick relapsed into gambling. Much to his surprise this landed him in jail, which was a wake up call yet again.
Feeling God leading him to Heartland Recovery, Nick filled out an application in jail. Initially resistant, he eventually surrendered to God and found true healing. Now, nearing graduation, he’s committed to following God’s will and has begun to see restoration in some of his broken relationships. His advice to those struggling? While 12-step programs help, true transformation comes from knowing God and His love. Heartland is a place you can come and find God.
Have you tried other Recovery programs, but feel like you need something deeper? Reach out today. Through the generosity of donors, we are able to provide a place without charge to men and women looking for freedom and a fresh start. Help get the word out by sharing these testimonies or letting those who are struggling know there is a place they can get help!
