Headmaster's Welcome

It's my pleasure to assist you in the critically important decisions concerning your child's education. The goal of Heartland Christian is to assist parents in their Biblical responsibility to train their children and serve as an extension of the family in uniting church, school and home. 

 

We are a ministry to help all churches and denominations who desire a Bible-based education for their young people.

 

I trust you are blessed by your association with Heartland Christian.

 

Sincerely,

​​

THE DREAM

Heartland Christian began as a dream. A dream that led us down a path of faith, trust and unbelievable miracles.

​

The dream itself was a simple one --- to provide families an affordable educational option in a city where no Christian school was available. Included in that vision were programs of excellence in academics, Christian discipleship, leadership training, athletics and the arts. With only 52 days until the first day of class, a board of directors was established, a Headmaster was hired and Heartland was offered a home in the offices of a local businessman. The Heartland dream became a reality.

​

Fifty-two days leaves very little room for error, especially for a dream and a vision so much larger than any one person.

The whirlwind planning was only possible through the combined effort of Godly men and experienced teachers who were confident in what God had called them to do.

​

On August 19, 2013, Heartland Christian opened for its first day of classes with 26 students. The applications poured in and  we ended 2014 with nearly 40 students. With 60 students in 2015, we realized God's dream was bigger than ours, which launched us into an expansion project that would more than double the current facility. The need for expansion was confirmed when we began the 2016 year with over 80 students. Now in its 14th year, Heartland is currently offering unique and transforming opportunities to 270 young people. 

Heartland purchased the building we'd been renting from John Sproles in 2025, and we are currently working on the plans for a new high school on the property adjacent to our current location. To God Be The Glory!

5 Year Celebration Presented in 2018

​While we're always excited to look ahead, we don't want to be guilty of forgetting the miracles that have come before and the provisions we've already received. 

 

This is a recollection of Heartland's story from our Opening Day in 2013 to the end of the 5th year in 2018.

This video was presented at Heartland's 2018 Graduation Ceremony.
