Outreach Connection – Heartland Recovery
Thanks to WTJR-TV’s Outreach Connection for welcoming Dwayne and JC from Heartland Recovery to the studio. “Addiction isn’t the problem, sin is the problem,” shares JC. “You’re coming to a family of God who will love you and walk through the next 12 months with you. The love of God has been shed abroad in our hearts by the power of the Holy Spirit and we’ve been called and equipped to do this. That’s our purpose.” Reach out today if you’re willing to take that next step toward recovery, OR if you’re interested in partnering with us to share the Good News with men, women, and youth who need to hear!Walking Through Recovery | Jessen’s Story
Jessen’s arrest served as a wake-up call, making him question the purpose of his self-destructive behavior. “I didn’t even know why I was getting high… It took everything.” Caught in addiction Jessen came to Heartland Recovery.
At Heartland Jessen found hope and peace. He acknowledges the damage he caused but remains grateful for God’s guidance and restoration, understanding that healing takes time. When asked what advice he offers others caught in addiction, he emphasizes the importance of finding support within the church community, emphasizing, “Get to a church, man. He’ll snatch you right up and show you you’re not alone.”

ID318 Summer Camp 2023
Our Youth Summer Camp was an absolute blast! Over three incredible days, we enjoyed fun in the sun, playing exciting team challenges and participating in numerous activities. It was all about building strong relationships with each other and deepening our connection with God. We’re grateful for the positive seeds planted and can’t wait to see them grow throughout the summer.
A big thank you to everyone who attended and served to make this camp a tremendous success!
Ready, Set, Move! | 2023 VBS Recap
Vacation Bible School at Heartland Community Church is always a fun-filled time for elementary age children. Our team of energetic volunteers led the way in this year’s theme of “Ready, Set, Move!” as they inspired kids to follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere with engaging, hands-on fun.
They learned to:
DO What He Says
BELIEVE Who He Is
LOVE Who He Loves
SHARE What He Did
GO Where He Leads
“The very best foundation is to build your life on your relationship with Jesus – by hearing His words, and then doing what Jesus says,” Mrs. Bock shared at the close of day one. “We don’t have to wonder how Jesus wants us to live! We can find out by reading Jesus’ words in the Bible! His words will always show us what is right and what is true. But it doesn’t end there. God sent Jesus out of the deepest love we could ever imagine. And Jesus died so we could have a relationship with God that will last forever. Our life with Jesus is a journey that takes us here, there, and everywhere. As we travel, we get to show love. We can love who Jesus loves.”
As this year’s VBS theme verse says, “Let us keep looking to Jesus. He is the one who started this journey of faith. And he is the one who completes the journey of faith.” Hebrews 12:2a NIrV
