Heartland 30th Anniversary

Join us in the Heartland Community on July 6, 2025, as we host the ministry’s 30th anniversary celebration.

The vision for building a city of refuge started with businessman and founder Charles Sharpe. As he drove across his Missouri farmland one day, he thought, “This would be a good place for kids.” Charlie was thinking of a summer camp, but the vision has grown into a Christian community built around a local church—people working side by side throughout the years to provide a place of hope and healing for the hurting.

JULY 6TH SCHEDULE OF EVENTS:

3-4pm… Anniversary Program & Recovery Graduation in the Church Sanctuary

4:30-7pm… Family-Friendly Outdoor Games, Activities, and Fellowship followed by a BBQ

Please join us in celebrating God’s goodness as we continue to pursue our vision to be a Jesus-centered, sustainable, intentional community of hope for the hurting built around a vibrant local church, cultivating individual, family, community, and global transformation through the power of the Gospel.
