We are the youth ministry of Heritage Church in Hattiesburg, MS.
Wednesday Nights at 5:30 PM
Heritage Church - 3 Baracuda Drive, Hattiesburg, MS 39402
WHO WE ARE
We seek to help all people discover and deepen their relationship with Jesus, while sharing His love with others.
We are committed to helping youth (6th-12th Grade) know God, find freedom, discover their God-given purpose, and make a difference.
In 2025, we are committing to being carriers of Revival, Influence, & Hope.
Revival starts in you. Inlfuence happens through you. Hope is shared because of Jesus in you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We believe that everyone is created on purpose, for a purpose, and with a purpose.
WORSHIP
Worship that centers our hearts on Jesus.
Before anything else, we want to help our youth hit pause, tune out the noise, and focus on the God who’s always with them.
MESSAGE
God’s truth, made clear for today’s youth.
Every message gives youth the truth about who God is, who they are, what following Jesus looks like, and how they can make a difference.
D-Groups
Don’t do life alone.
Every youth is placed in a discipleship group (D-Group) of their peers and an adult leader who is passionate about investing in the next generation. These groups process life, faith, and following Jesus together.
Life can get busy, and sometimes it's just not possible to make it to our Wednesday night gatherings. But fear not! We've got you covered. Whether you were caught up in work, had a prior commitment, or simply couldn't make it, we understand that you still want to stay connected and receive the valuable messages we share.
