What is Community Development?

Community development ministry exists for people within the Yarra Glen and surrounding community, to help all members of the community reach their potential. This ministry is expandable and can bring new programs and service to the community as needs arise.

Currently the projects that Heartland is undertaking are:

Reluncheonships

Every first Sunday of the month Heartland shares a meal together at each others homes, rather than meeting at the Memorial Hall. On these Sunday’s people offer to host and a few guests are invited around for a meal, have a catch up and a short Bible study discussion. Reluncheonships are designed to build relationships among the current Heartland community and provides a welcoming environment for friends. If you are planning on visiting on a 1st Sunday please contact us to join a Reluncheonship meal.

Community Events

Heartland has been organising community events since 2006. Our regular community events are the Yarra Glen Carols by Candlelight and the Pop Up Clothes Swap.

Courses

Courses are a great way to develop peoples skills and relationships, when people have the opportunity to broaden their skill set they make theirs and others lives better. Courses will be open to all people in our community and will run on a regular basis. Courses Heartland has previously run are No Apologies by Focus on the Family and Youth Alpha. Currently we are planning on running the Alpha Marriage Course for more information visit our Course section.
