WE ARE BETTER TOGETHER

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

- The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-19 NIV)


At Heritage, everything that we do is in pursuit of the Great Commission. It’s what forms our mission: To help people Find and Follow Jesus. Heritage Groups are a key way we intentionally live out this mission, because we believe real life happens surrounded by community. God never designed us to navigate life alone!

So what does a Heritage Group look like? Since each Heritage Group is filled with real life people doing real life together, each Group will be a little different. We have groups designed around activities, common interests, serving, studying, learning, prayer and a bunch more… but every one of them are chasing the common goal to CREATE SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO CONNECT WITH GOD AND EACH OTHER, GROW IN THEIR FATIH, AND LIVE ON MISSION.

Here’s what that looks like in every Heritage Group

CONNECT WITH GOD AND EACH OTHER: We connect best in consistent environments with clear communication. Each Heritage Group commits to gathering on a consistent basis and communicating that consistency in the Groups list. Some groups will focus on gathering people around a common interest or taking Jesus to a public place, others focusing on studying a book or Bible study… but all of them will work to create space to connect with God & each other.

GROW IN OUR FAITH: Clear, intentional, practical steps that we can take in community are one of the best tools for growth in our Faith. This happens through study, discussion, or even just intentional conversations. That is why each Heritage Group commits to keep Jesus at the center and each leader leads the group with this purpose.

LIVE ON MISSION: We are called to GO. Go beyond the walls, beyond the gatherings, beyond the comfortable. To go into our communities, cities, and beyond. That is why each Heritage Group understands, discipleship takes many forms and looks different for every person. It makes sense that we have groups for different people and approaches to grow in our faith… but this should always lead us to living out our faith in the world around us, and inviting others to experience Jesus!
