We Were Not Born with Spiritual Life And you hath he quickened [made to live], who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: - Ephesians 2:1-2 Simply put, Heartland is all about LIFE. True-life can only be found through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Our church seeks life and growth after the Scripture’s pattern. The Bible shares in the second chapter of Ephesians that while we are born in a state of spiritual death, but spiritual life is available to all. New Year - New Theme Our theme for 2015 is “Growing Together,” based upon Ephesians 2:19-22.

In Jesus Christ, spiritual life begins (John 3:16). ChurchGrowth Once made alive in Christ, the believer will grow through obedience to God and His Word. Growth is a Evidence of Spiritual Life For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. - Ephesians 2:10 Growth Takes Place in the Church God has established the church as a community of growth where He dwells. There His children worship, strengthen one another, fellowship, and work together to bring spiritual life to a spiritually dead world. In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. - Ephesians 2:21-22
