Heritage Mission Statement
Heritage is a gospel-centered body of believers dedicated to making disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.
Heritage Core Values
The following core values shape the ministry of Heritage, informing our decisions and directing the focus of our ministry:- Gospel Centrality: The gospel is not just the means of salvation, but the purpose and motivation of all we do. We do not serve God to earn favor, but rather as a form of worship, in response to the grace and favor he has already given.
- Authentic Worship: The purpose of all we do is the worship of God for His glory. We desire to create a culture where people are empowered by the Spirit of God and an understanding of the Gospel, to worship God, and to see worship as something that is done in every area of life. Christians are to live as ambassadors of a different kingdom, manifesting God’s character and nature as we do.
- Right doctrine and biblical interpretation: God has revealed himself to us in the scriptures, therefore Heritage places a great deal of value on right understanding and proclamation of God’s Word. We do not Lord over the scriptures, instead allowing the Word of God to lord over us as we teach expositionally.
- Discipleship: Having been adopted into the family of God, we believe that genuine community should consist of authenticity, transparency, sincerity, accountability, repentance, forgiveness, and commitment to the body of believers. We believe that the church is a tool of sanctification, and that a gospel-centered community of believers is designed to help one another grow into christian maturity as they do life together
- Missional Focus: We believe that Christians have not arrived, but have been sent. We believe that the scriptures clearly mandate that the church exist as a Kingdom outpost, working as ministers of reconciliation for the King who will one day redeem all things and overturn all the effects of the fall. This means we partner with Christ in this work today, seeking to bring justice and hope to our city.
How To Know God
The Gospel is the good news of God’s grace invading the darkness of this world. It is the grand narrative of creation, fall, redemption, and consummation ordained by God and orchestrated through the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. Christ’s crucifixion is the heart of the gospel. His resurrection is the power of the gospel. His ascension is the glory of the gospel.
Christ’s death is a substitutionary and propitiatory sacrifice to God for our sins. It satisfies the demands of God’s holy justice and appeases His holy wrath. It also demonstrates His mysterious love and reveals His amazing grace. Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and man. There is no other name by which men can be saved. At the heart of all sound doctrine is the cross of Jesus Christ and the infinite privilege that redeemed sinners have in glorifying God because of what He has accomplished. Therefore, we want all that takes place in our hearts, churches, and ministries to proceed from and be related to the gospel.

Strategic Plan
UPDATED STRATEGIC PLAN – JUNE 2021
It’s a new season for Heritage Christian Fellowship! As the world emerges from a global pandemic, as the Rogue Valley rebuilds from last year’s fires, and as Heritage turns a new page into a new season, the Executive Board and the church staff have been prayerfully seeking God’s will and direction for this new season of ministry and mission.
As we look ahead and seek God’s will for our church, we look first to His Word. Scripture is clear. Jesus gave unflinching marching orders for His Church—The Great Commission.
THE GREAT COMMISSION
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” MATTHEW 28:19-20
