Our Community

About

In 1995, Charlie and Laurie Sharpe took a big step of faith in the middle of their Missouri cornfields. Charlie had grown up on what he described as “a little clay knob” in Lewis County. When his life insurance company started making money, he wanted to do something to make a difference. Eventually, he realized God was asking him to build a place where hurting people could get away from the distractions of life and find help through Jesus. Charlie never did anything on a small scale. The first piece of ground was turned with a bulldozer instead of a shovel. He was convinced that God would do amazing things at Heartland, and he was right about that.

 

Men, women, and children continue to come to this place in the middle of the Missouri cornfields looking for some kind of help and hope. Countless numbers of them have found that help and a new life in God through a relationship with Jesus Christ. And, people keep coming.
