I have been a pastor since 1983; beginning in Indiana and moving to Kansas in 2000 to join the Heartland staff. A great deal has changed since that move in 2000. Two of our four children have married, Rebecca and I have became grandparents, and in 2007 I became the senior pastor of Heartland. God has given me a great vision to help Heartland connect with God and one another. Each week we intentionally equip people to live out their faith, believing that in the process we will be changed through God’s power and truth. I want to take this opportunity to personally invite you to connect with the Heartland family this weekend as we connect with our mighty God, His timeless truth and His family.  email Pastor Bill

One of my dreams has been to put together a team of intelligent, committed, and incredibly gifted people to help the church be all that it can be. That dream is happening. The Heartland staff brings years of experience, incredible amounts of creativity, and a love for God and people. It’s my privilege to lead this staff and introduce them to you.

I’m a Kansas City native and a long time singer/song writer/producer. I've released multiple CDs on my own and with other local bands. I toured the country as the bassist for indie alt rock act Waterdeep for 2.5 years. I’ve played with and recorded with multiple local bands including Trump Dawgs, KLT, Triptastic, Chasing 7, and Casey Todd. I’ve been in full time church ministry since 2004, but have served in church all of my life. I love Jesus, my wife, family, friends, football, music, ice cream, cartoons, the ocean, sea food, movies, laughter, and working with young people and my worship team. I look forward to what is ahead for Heartland. My favorite scripture is Isaiah chapter 61. email Kenny

I’ve been serving as the Office Administrator at Heartland for the past 5 years.  I’ve been married for 13 years to a godly man; I have a beautiful daughter and the most precious grandson on planet earth. Each and every day, working as office administrator, I have an opportunity to show God’s love through my actions; it is my prayer and desire that when people look at me, they are able to tell their family, friends or whoever asks, Leona touched my life and made it a little better.   My favorite scripture is Romans 8:28 – "And we know all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose." email Leona

I’ve been the Nursery Director since May of 2007 and have worked in the nursery for 20 years.  I also teach at Little Hearts Preschool.

My husband Tim, a physician specializing in child and adolescent psychiatry, and I have been married for 13 years and have four amazing children. I love my life and my family. God has blessed us so richly, and it is my desire to live my life for Him, as an example to my children and others.

My desire for Heartland's nursery is to have a clean, safe, and fun enviroment to introduce our babies to Jesus!
