The apostle Paul told us what God’s church should be; a gathering of believers where our labor for Him expresses faith, love, and hope in the One who called and saved us (I Thessalonians 1:2-4).

Here at Heartland Grace Brethren we strive to follow the calling of our Lord Jesus Christ who said that the Greatest Commandment was to love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind. He then went on to say that we are also to love others as much as we love ourselves (Matt. 22:37-39).

As the pastor of Heartland Grace, I too thank the Lord for His work in our local church. My prayer is that those who worship here would develop deep and meaningful relationships that show we are loving God and loving others.
