OUR MISSIONAL MOTIVES:
(Why we do what we do) Heritage Bible Church members are:

We are a church family dedicated to helping people connect with Jesus, and with each other. We do that first through our worship services on Sunday mornings where we reach out and connect with God in various ways. Our Life Groups help us grow in friendship and love for each other. That's connecting with each other. Joining a ministry or task team helps us to live out the intentional connection to others in our church and in our community. And as we live a lifestyle of worship, connecting with others, serving in our community and perhaps even out in the world, we call that living life on mission.
We have defined five motives or reasons why we do what we do. First and most important, we are devoted to Jesus. Loving Jesus is why we are here! Next we are connected in love. God's word tells us to love one another, so we are following God's instruction to love others. The Bible also teaches us to live by its truths. When we love others and understand the truths of God's word, we are compelled to offer ourselves in service to others. And finally we extend grace to all. After all, when we see what God has done for us, how can we do any less than offer His grace to others?
