Missions
Heritage is committed to
caring for others—both in the local community and
around the world. We have sponsored four
Habitat for Humanity Houses. We’ve sent lay
missionaries to Haiti, Cuba, and Ecuador, and for
disaster relief efforts in Florida, south Georgia,
Mississippi, and Alabama. Our youth have made
mission trips to Florida, North Carolina, New York
City, Miami, Atlanta, Washington DC, Switzerland,
Czech Republic and Canada.
In 2003 we began Operation
Inasmuch, a hands-on mission work
day in our community. We try to involve
everyone in our church family, and we welcome all who
wish to join us as we build wheelchair ramps, wash
windows, and reach out in many other ways to those in
need. Through Operation
Inasmuch, the church family has
volunteered countless hours for many worthwhile
ministries such as Advocates for Bartow’s Children,
Tranquility House Women’s Shelter and the Good
Neighbor Homeless Shelter. We also support
these shelters regularly through our church budget,
as well as medical needs in Ecuador.
Our church family has partnered with World Relief to
help a family from Iraq immigrate and settle in the
Cartersville area . With churches of all
denominations in our community, we work to support
the Community Church Shop to provide good, clean
clothes at a low cost to those in need. We partner
with First Presbyterian Church each year on "Souper
Sunday" to raise money for world hunger.
The church participates in other mission endeavors
through its support of the Alliance of Baptists,
Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Mercer
University’s McAfee School of Theology as well as
other special mission opportunities.
