The Blended worship experience starts at 10:50 a.m.
“We want to share what our church has to offer with the people in the community,” Huggins said. “Those not connected with a faith home. iI addition to worship, we offer classes in faith development, small groups on various topics, opportunities for community service and special programs for several adult groups, young adults and senior citizens.”
Huggins noted that recent data show spiritual interests are increasing. yet only around 30 percent report attending a local church in an average week.
“We want to increase that percentage next Sunday and every Sunday in Heavener. We believe being part of a local church each week meets needs that cannot be met otherwise, adding a great deal to our present and future quality of life.”
