THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
We are the youth ministry of Heritage Church in Hattiesburg, MS. We seek to help all people discover and deepen their relationship with Jesus, while sharing His love with others.
WHO WE ARE
Heritage Youth is built on one word: Honor. We honor up, down, & all around. Honor isn’t just what we do; it’s who we are, because it reflects the life of Jesus.
We believe notetakers are history-makers. We help youth Know God & Find Freedom through authentic relationships, worship, teaching, and D-Groups.
Our mission is simple: To help youth Discover Their God-Given Purpose & Make A Difference. We believe with our whole heart that every youth is created on purpose, for a purpose, and with a purpose.
As we begin a new school year, we want to continue building on the L3 Principle that we introduced at the end of last semester: To Learn, Live, & Lead like Jesus.
New Here? We’d love to connect with you!

Thanks for checking out our site! My name’s Josh House, & I’m the youth minister here at Heritage Church. I’m excited to connect with you. My heart has always been to help youth connect with Jesus in a real & personal way. I truly believe everyone is created on purpose, for a purpose, and with a purpose.
At Heritage Youth, we believe God never intended for us to do life alone. That’s why we partner with families to walk alongside youth in every season of life.
My wife, Brittany, our two daughters, and our incredible leadership team would love to connect with you and your family as we grow together in faith.
