WE SEE A CHURCH WHERE
GENEROSITY GETS UNLEASHED.

ADVNC is a team who serve our church with the Gift of Giving.

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” Romans 12:6-8 NIV

This is an opportunity to invest your resources and wealth into speeding the vision and long-term goals of Heartland, helping us to create the ADVNC that we believe God is calling us to create.

OUR CITY
LANE

$175,000
The “Our City” Lane focuses on the advancement of the Gospel through involvement in our Rockford area. We are committed to a ministry philosophy that says, “we don’t own anything, control anything or count anything as ours.” We want to hold, with an open hand, all that God has entrusted us with so that real needs are met in our communities and the Good News of Jesus is shared.

RENOVATE A MINISTRY BUILDING AT PROVIDENCE BAPTIST CHURCH $75,000
We have a deep heart to partner in ministry with minority churches in Rockford and to bridge the divide between those minorities and the white population. As part of this effort we are engaging in partnerships with specific churches where there are common goals of meeting the real needs of the community.

RAPID RESPONSE COVID FUND $50,000
Covid has created significant challenges for many in our community. We desire to help meet those needs. It could be hosting a job fair or meeting the personal needs of those affected by job loss and financial challenges.

MENTORING PROGRAM $25,000
We have a deep heart to partner in ministry with minority churches in Rockford and to bridge the divide between those minorities and the white population. As part of this effort we are engaging in partnerships with specific churches where there are common goals of meeting the real needs of the community.

LOCAL MINISTRY COWORKING SPACE (“WE WORK”) $25,000
Imagine a coworking space at Heartland for not for profits, business people and congregants. In providing this space we connect with people within the commu- nity and have them coming to our campus on a regular basis.

GLOBAL MISSIONS
LANE

$175,000
The “Global Missions” Lane focuses on the advancement of the Gospel through Reach Our World global missions as well as the resourcing of life-giving churches in our nation and nations around the world. We have a passion to see people of all nations come to Christ and for nations to be transformed by the power of the Gospel.

COMPASSION DEV CENTER $25,000
This October we are stepping into a direct partnership with Compassion International in the country of Rwanda and we will be sponsoring children for two specific development centers.

INDIA IMPACT $50,000
We will partner with ministries on the front line of church planting in India, a place where 25% of the world population that does not know Jesus lives. There are 54 pastor training centers across India and, for roughly $50k a year, we can support the operations of one of these training centers and see the Gospel planted through local churches by the hundreds, impacting thousands.

CUBA MINISTRY DEVELOPMENT $25,000
Through providential connections, we have a relationship with the largest evangelical denomination in Cuba, and it is our desire to explore ways that Heartland can become involved in this significant ministry. We are also hoping that this will be a location where we can send ministry teams on a regular basis. These funds will allow us to explore these options on site.

RWANDA STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT $25,000
Our team has been invited to attend the National Prayer Breakfast in Kigali, Rwanda and we continue to build strong relationships in a country we will be targeting over the next decade to support. The prayer breakfast is attended by congress and the president and gives us an opportunity to sit at the table with lead- ing policy makers and decision makers inside Rwanda.

WORLD RELIEF CEZ $50,000
The CEZ is a proven model of community development used in over 100 countries by World Relief. The CEZ brings together local pastors and leaders to discuss challenges facing their community. Based on this work, the communities are resourced with tools and training to meet the needs in their communities. We will be sponsoring one of those zones in western Rwanda.

OUR HOME
LANE

$550,000
The “Our Home” Lane focuses on the advancement of talent recruitment and retainment. We desire to expand our reach through regional hubs and/or heartland@home churches. These initiatives require investment on our part. In addition, we need to care for our staff and their benefits at a healthier level than we presently do if we are going to attract great talent and retain them. This lane looks to Heartland’s future and our vision for expanded ministry impact.

TALENT ACQUISITION & DEVELOPMENT $100,000
We desire to provide the very best development and training to our staff to maximize their contribution to the Heartland ministry and to steward the gifts God has given. In addition, benefit upgrades for staff are critical if we are going to attract and retain staff.

HEARTLAND@HOME DIGITAL ENGAGEMENT $100,000
The formation of these home fellowships will not only provide fellowship and support during this covid season, but it will also give us a means to expand our reach in future months and years. heartland@home is a paradigm that can be used anywhere on the planet by those who desire to grow through a Heartland experience.

ROOF $100,000
One of our challenges for our physical plant is a roof that leaks in some areas—rather significantly. To redo the whole roof is a very expensive process, but if we could invest $100,000 per year, we could start with the most problematic areas and work from there. This is a very significant current need.

TECH UPGRADE $250,000
Much of our technology used today is two decades old. With the need to provide services digitally we must upgrade much of this technology. This is particularly important because we have in excess of 5,000 people accessing our services online today.
