What To Expect

When you show up to Heartland Baptist Church, there are certain things that you can expect to find, whether it's your first time, first time in a long time, or even if your here every week. You can expect to be greeted at the door with a smile, a bulletin, and a handshake. In fact, don't be surprised if you find it nearly impossible to turn around without somebody smilling, nodding, or saying hello. You can expect to find help from just about anyone if your looking for a specific classroom or service. Just stop someone and ask them, if they don't know, they'll find someone who does. You can expect well prepared lessons and sermons that will encourage and challenge you and you can expect good music and meaningful worship as we seek to praise our heavenly Father.


If this is going to be your first time with us, then you can expect to find the same great smiles, handshakes, sermons, lessons and music as everyone else, but you can also expect a few more things. First of all, we have a welcome bag for you at our "Welcome Center". Just stop by and say hello to Cindy (she's one of the friendliest people you'll ever meet!) and let her know that this is your first time. Trust us, you'll want one of these bags, not only does it have information about our church and what we believe, but it also has a loaf of our church's famous bread. It's worth picking one up just for that! Second, we'll probably ask you to fill out a communication card. This is just a tool that we use to keep a record of our visitor's but it also does something for you. You'll be able to let us know if there is anything that we can do for you or pray about for you. Each and everyone one of these goes directly to our Pastor. We'll send you a letter thanking you for visiting and probably try to stop by and say hello sometime. Don't worry though, we won't come empty handed, we'll bring another loaf of bread! Finally, you can expect our sincere thanks for having visited. We can't tell you how much we appreciate you taking time out of your day to come and spend time worshiping with us.


When you come to Heartland Baptist Church, you can expect to have a great time!

    
When You Visit

2. REJOICE!!! - Make sure that you have a good time. God made us to worship Him, what could be more fun than fulfilling your God given mission in life? Meet some people, make some friends, sing along with us, and let God work in your heart. Trust us, seeing God work in your life is very exciting!

3.  RETURN!!! - We will be so happy to have you the first time that you come. The only thing that would make us happier would be to have you come back again!

So make sure that you stop in as often as you can, because your always a friend and friends are always welcome at Heartland Baptist Church!

    
What Should I Wear?

The simplest answer to this question is, "whatever you have". There is no dress code at Heartland Baptist Church and we are not at all particular. We have people that wear jeans and T-shirts as well as members that wear suits and ties. You just wear whatever makes you feel the most appropriate for coming to church.
