What we are about

Young adulthood is a time of change and transition. It’s a time of discovering so many things, and undergoing so much change, while simultaneously making decisions that will literally change the entire trajectory of your lives. The schooling and career you choose, the friends you have, what your relationships will look like, and the most important one, deciding what place Jesus has in your life. That one decision will impact literally every other decision you make.

Heartland Young Adults is a safe, secure and welcoming space for you to process all of these questions, all of the change and all of the transition.

You are welcome and loved here! Come check us out sometime.

WHAT WE DO

Study Nights

FIRST TWO WEDNESDAYS OF THE MONTH
These nights look like studying God's word in community with one another. This could be a certain topic or a book of the Bible. There is a teaching element and table discussion with those around us.

Small Groups

THIRD WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH
Small Groups happen once a month. We meet at different locations and grow together through a study and living life together.

Monthly Events

LAST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH
This is a time for us to gather otgether as a community and grow in our relationship with one another through a fun activity!
On either the last Wednesday or Friday of every month we have an event outside the church, such as bowling, or at the church, such as a game show night, or DIY escape rooms.

Charissa Baerg

Director of Young Adults and Connections
It's such a privilege to lead and serve the young adults of Heartland. I've been attending Heartland since 2010 and have been on staff since 2022. I've been married since 2012 to my husband Steve and we have 3 amazing kids.

I'm fiercely passionate about helping young adults navigate all the changes and transition that life brings during this stage of life. I'm committed to bringing solid biblical teachings and helping people discover how to walk in deeper levels of trust with Jesus. I've seen first hand that God is good and it's my desire that every person have a relationship with him and see that goodness for themselves.
