The Connection Ministry exists to assist any individual desiring to take any step into or within the Heritage faith community. Our ministry heartbeat is to provide, provoke and protect a safe and comfortable environment where people feel valued, cared for and at ease in an unfamiliar setting.
Christian hospitality is (1) modeled by the Trinity (Nahum 1:7, Luke 14:12-13; John 14:16, (2) a command of scripture (Rom. 12:13), (3) a sign of Christian maturity (1 Tim. 3:2; Tit. 1:8), (4) a witness and apologetic to a skeptical world (1 Pet. 4:9-12), and (5) an energizing force in the church (Rom. 16:23). Plus, it’s just plain fun and fulfilling to share our lives and resources with someone new to your world without communicating a need for anything in return.
There’s no bigger buzz in this world than knowing that the God of the universe used you to touch another or that He used another to come alongside you!
Below are the visions of the Heritage Connection Ministries:
Welcome Team - “that each person who attends each Heritage-sponsored event would lavishly experience the radically welcoming heart of Jesus”.
Serving – “that every HCC regular attender would know their God-designed SHAPE (spiritual gifts, heart (passion), abilities, personality and ordained experiences) and find their appropriate place(s) of service”. Click here to navigate to the current serving opportunities.
Participating Membership – “that each HCC regular attender would embrace and be able to articulate the value of the role, rights, responsibilities, and tenets of HCC participating membership”
