How the Gospel Moves Forward
Church Planting
In the Heartland District, church planting isn’t just something we do—it’s at the center of who we are. It’s how we believe the gospel moves forward. This video captures the heartbeat of that mission through the voices of pastors who have lived it. Leaders who didn’t set out to plant churches but couldn’t ignore God’s prompting. These individuals and their families started with nothing but a burden on their hearts, a few families, a prayer, and then witnessed as God brought it all to life. From living rooms in Wichita to gatherings that doubled on launch Sunday, this video shows what happens when people say yes to an extraordinary calling. In the Heartland, we believe God is still writing new stories of hope through new churches, and if He’s stirring something in you, we’d love to talk.
Residence Program
In the Heartland District, pastoral residencies are a strategic, deeply relational part of how we raise up the next generation of gospel-centered leaders. This video captures what makes a Heartland residency so impactful: the blend of rich theological training and meaningful hands-on ministry experience, all rooted in real community. Residents don’t just preach sermons—they ride combines with farmers, show up to Little League games, and earn trust by loving people where they are. Young pastors who feel called but unsure where to start, the Heartland residency builds the bridge between knowledge and shepherding. And for churches considering hosting, it’s a chance to invest in the future of the Church and watch your congregation rally around that mission.
