Music Team
If you play an instrument or have a passion for singing, there may be an opportunity for you to serve on the Heartland Music Team. 

Contact Jim Reich, or stop by the information center on Sundays for more information. 

Drama Team
The drama ministry utilizes the dramatic arts to illustrate or introduce the service topic or a key point for the day.  Our mission is to use our God-given gifts and talents to honor God by creating an atmosphere in which spiritual seekers will be drawn closer to God and Christ-followers can worship him freely.

Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings prior to the services.  On the third Wednesday of each month, the entire team meets for a time of sharing, building relationships and actor training.  Additional time for individual preparation (memorizing lines, etc.) is also necessary in order to prepare for rehearsals and the Sunday morning services.

Positions available on the drama team include:

·         Actors (previous experience helpful but not required)

·         Wardrobe Coordinator and Assistant Coordinator - to ensure that needed costumes are available and to organize and maintain the costume and prop cabinet

If you are interested in joining the Drama Team, contact Sue McGinnes.

Prayer Team
We know that God works in powerful ways through the prayers of those who love Him and obey Him. Heartland is a place where we are amazed watching God at work. How does this happen? It happens because Heartland's people love, obey and listen for His voice as He leads. If you seek to know God better every day and have a desire to be used, you are already a part of what God is doing. We want to help your prayer life grow and connect you with others for mutual encouragement. Join us as we encourage and build up the body to reach out to the community around us.

If you have a prayer request, would like to receive Heartlander's weekly prayer needs, or would like to learn how to grow in your prayer life, contact us.

Kid's Company Team
The Bible tells us that those who share even a cup of cold water with a child will certainly be rewarded (Matthew 10:42). How much more reward must there be for those who share the thirst-quenching message of Jesus’ love with His precious little ones! Kid’s Company offers a wide variety of service opportunities for those who have a heart for children ages newborn through fifth grade. So… whether you enjoy working with toddlers or older children, whether you are available often or just once in awhile, whether you like to be upfront or behind the scenes - there is a place for you on the Kid’s Company Team! Please contact Gabrielle Smith for a Volunteer Application Packet today!

Technical Team
You can get involved with the sound system, lighting system, or video system while being a part of the Tech Team.  The Technical Team uses current audio, video, and lighting technology to assist the Heartland ministries in creating a meaningful experience for those seeking to learn about and follow Christ.  You don't have to be experienced in any of the areas; you just need a desire to be a part of a family who has a desire to serve our Lord....in a fun way!  Here are just a few of the opportunities in the Tech Team:

• Impact the mood with lighting
• Fine tune the sound of the music on the sound board
• Stage coordination - coordinate the production elements from backstage
• Create videos; run the camera and/or edit the video on the Macintosh computer
• Web site design and maintenance, or graphics design for PowerPoint and video projection

Contact Gig Ploense or call the church office at 309-452-7335 if you would like to check out the opportunities in the Tech Team.

Welcome Team
The Welcome Team provides direction, information, and assistance in a warm and friendly manner to those attending Heartland Community Church . This ministry is a great place for newcomers to get their feet wet to serving and to become familiar with others attending Heartland. There are several ways to get involved based on what fits your personality:

• Door Greeters are stationed at the front and back doors. You need not be outgoing, only helpful and friendly. This is our first chance to make people feel valued.
• Auditorium Greeters hand out programs, collect offering, and handle special requests. There again, friendly and helpful personalities in this area continue to make our attendees feel valued.
• Floaters are mobile greeters looking for those needing further assistance or connection in conversation. Floaters should feel fairly comfortable approaching people and starting conversation.

If you are interested in being involved in this ministry please contact the church office.

"This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God." 2 Cor. 9:12
