To this end, men are invited to monthly breakfast meetings in order to pray together, learn together, and grow together. The men meet once a month for breakfast (7:00 to 9:15 a.m.), which is sometimes followed by a project (such as church yard work or car care for widows and single ladies). Senior Servants Senior Servants are the 55 and older set (either spouse qualifies a couple) and is open to Heritage attenders and members of the community. Senior Servants come together for education, fellowship, ministry and recreation. Meetings are held monthly, usually on the third Saturday, with annual elections of officers in November. Sunday School Women's Ministries Women's Ministries Bible Study meets on Tuesday mornings and evenings during the fall and spring. Past study material has included A Heart Like His (a study on the life of David by Beth Moore), Lord, I Want to Know You (Kay Arthur), and Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life (Donald Whitney). Other opportunities include special monthly meetings, a Christmas brunch, and a mentoring ministry. Evangelism (Global) Elders: Mike Pitts Deacons: Dick Becker, Josh McCarnan, John Steel Christmas in October This churchwide celebration begins with families and individuals selecting missionary families to purchase gifts for. At a special midweek service in October, everyone brings the gifts to be wrapped and mailed. Before the wrapping and packing though, we enjoy Christmas carols and cookies and stroll around to see the bounty of gifts on display. Church Planting Global Missions HBC supports more than 30 missionaries and mission ministries around the world. We encourage believers to communicate the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ by evangelizing throughout all nations and faithfully providing support personally, prayerfully, and financially to those who are sent. Heritage also participates in various short-term mission trips through sending people on these trips and supporting them financially.
