Adopt-a-Student

Our mission statement at Heritage reads, “Spreading the unsearchable riches of Christ broader in the world and deeper in the church.” In light of HBC’s mission, Impact’s aim is “to help college students know God, treasure his gospel, serve his church, and claim his mission.” This is the foundation of who we are, and it serves as the directional arrow for what we do. Since the college years are formative years, we want this season to be formative for the glory of Christ and the good of his church. This is why we call our college ministry Impact. We’re committed to gospel-impact among our students in these strategic years.

At Heritage, we are blessed with a large number of college students who choose to call our church home. These students represent a wonderful injection of life into our midst, and with that injection God’s given us a significant responsibility to love them in the gospel.

It is to that end that we invite you to participate in our Adopt-a-Student program. At most, we have four years with these students, and it is our desire as a church family to invest our lives in them with the hope that they grow as disciples of Jesus. We do not simply want these students to come on Sundays for worship and be content merely to participate as consumers. They bring a unique perspective, their own giftedness, and individual stories of grace that the Lord can (and will) use powerfully in our own church family. As a result of their participation in our Adopt-a-Student program and in worshiping with us at Heritage, we hope that our college students will graduate as more mature disciples of Jesus who know God more deeply through the gospel, serve the church with greater intentionality, and participate in gospel global advance with unwavering commitment.
