Confirmation
Confirmation is one of the most important things we do at Heritage. It is an exciting time helping 8th grade and older students make the turn from the faith of their childhood to the faith that will sustain them in high school, college, and beyond!

Retreats
Student Ministry goes on at least 2 retreats every year. Retreats are important in the life of Student Ministry, as they give students a chance to get away from their normal hustle and bustle and spend 2-3 days focused on their spiritual discipleship. That can include worship, games, small groups, break out sessions and more. Click the button below for more info!

Mission Trips and Service Opportunities
Each summer, we offer both a US based and an international mission trip. This is a chance for our students to experience new cultures and living out our mission of transforming the world.
Over a 4 year period of time, we provide opportunities for different types of mission trips: urban, rural, disaster relief and international. In the past we have been to TN, GA, FL, AR, San Francisco, Bahamas, Costa Rica to name a few.
Students also have various opportunities to volunteer throughout the year. Usually these volunteer opportunities can count towards hours needed for scholarships.
