Harmony of Healing
Our second annual Harmony of Healing seminar is designed to create a space for local organizations and church leaders to come together, share resources, and encourage one another in our shared mission of serving those in need.
If you have a desire to see men, women, and youth who have been caught up in addiction, incarceration, and other life challenges set free and find healing, join us for this collaborative event between Heartland Recovery Programs and other community leaders and organizations.

Heartland 30th Anniversary Celebration of Restoration
Join us in the Heartland Community on July 6, 2025, as we host the ministry’s 30th anniversary celebration.
The vision for building a city of refuge started with businessman and founder Charles Sharpe. As he drove across his Missouri farmland one day, he thought, “This would be a good place for kids.” Charlie was thinking of a summer camp, but the vision has grown into a Christian community built around a local church—people working side by side throughout the years to provide a place of hope and healing for the hurting.
JULY 6TH SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:
3-4pm… Anniversary Program & Recovery Graduation in the Church Sanctuary
4:30-7pm… Family-Friendly Outdoor Games, Activities, and Fellowship followed by a BBQ
7:30pm… Stephen McWhirter Concert in the Church Sanctuary
Dusk… Cupcakes and Fireworks on the Lawn
Please join us in celebrating God’s goodness as we continue to pursue our vision to be a Jesus-centered, sustainable, intentional community of hope for the hurting built around a vibrant local church, cultivating individual, family, community, and global transformation through the power of the Gospel.

We’re really excited to welcome Stephen McWhirter to Heartland’s 30th Anniversary Celebration on July 6th. He has a heart for worshiping Jesus and leading others to Him, and knows what it is to experience victory over addiction.
“From addiction to redemption, from meth addict to worship leader, Stephen’s powerful testimony is one of radical restoration after having encountered the Presence of God, and giving his life to Jesus. Today, he is a touring worship leader, songwriter, recording artist, speaker, and formally one of the primary songwriters and voices for Iron Bell Music.”
Make plans to join us for this special night of worship!
Walking Through Recovery | Aaron’s Story
Aaron, from St. Louis, Missouri, knows firsthand that recovery is a journey. Sometimes, it takes multiple attempts to get it right. His struggle with addiction began in grade school, leading him down a path of substance use and dealing to support his habit. Despite going through Heartland Recovery before, he always found himself slipping back into old habits.
But Aaron didn’t give up. When he came to Heartland for the third time, he knew this time had to be different. “I really humbled myself and surrendered to the calling that God has on my life,” he shares. Now, he embraces the process, understanding that setbacks don’t define the journey—perseverance does.
If you’ve tried and stumbled, don’t lose hope. Each step, even the missteps, can lead to lasting change. As Aaron says, “Cry out to God, and He will answer your call.”
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, don’t wait to take the first step toward freedom. Heartland Recovery offers hope, healing, and lasting transformation through Jesus Christ. Reach out today and discover the new life that’s possible.
