overflow opportunities
Our next series, Overflow, will be an opportunity for our entire community to dive into the Bible and carry on a connected conversation from the end of April through July. We'd love for you to join us! Check out these upcoming opportunities, and follow the links to save your spot now.
overflow groups: mark study
Launching Tuesday, April 26, 6:30-8:00 PM at Heartland, or on various nights in homes across the metro
Experience God's overflow in your life like never before as we study the book of Mark. Now is your opportunity to discuss with others what you learn on Sundays and to integrate and apply what you are reading in the Bible throughout the week.
We’ve designed a 6-part Tuesday night study here at Heartland with you in mind (April 26-June 14). No prior experience with the Bible is necessary, but even seasoned participants in Bible studies will be encouraged and challenged through our time together. Childcare is available for a nominal fee.
We are also offering the option for people to gather their own groups and meet in homes discussing the same material.
For more information on these offerings, CLICK HERE.

From some of last year’s participants . . .
“This trip holds a special place in my heart. I joined a group of women in anticipation of some fun and adventure in beautiful Colorado and it was that and more! We were challenged, encouraged, and united in ways we had never known. Friendships were formed, laughter was shared and memories were made that will last for years. I would encourage anyone who is open to getting to know others, yourself and God a little better, to come along! You’ll be glad you did!” ~Debbie
“I went on the trip last year looking for an enjoyable weekend of hiking and being outside. I got that but also experienced community, built friendships, and grew personally in ways I didn’t expect.” ~Jill
