Our History
Pastor Kevin Zaun and Sarah raised their family grew up in Lisbon, ND, he was pastoring a church there for quite a few years, until he began to feel like God was calling him to start a church in Fargo. Through much prayer and seeking advice, we made the move to Fargo and that's where it started.
Kevin and Sarah started out with just a few people meeting their home on Wednesday nights during the fall of 2002. After a while more people started to meet in their home. From January till around May 25th 2003, people met for services on Saturday nights in a small room at Trollwood Mall on North Broadway. In the summer of 2003, "Pilot" services were held once a month on Sunday mornings at the Trollwood location. Heartland met once a month for 3 months during this time. As more people began attending these services, "preview" services were held each Sunday morning until the Grand opening in October of 2003. While at the Trollwood location, God gave his favor to our new church and we grew to average about 65 people in attendance. As we continued to grow, small group ministry in homes also was emphasized. It became apparent that the room we were renting was getting smaller as the congregation kept growing. So in January of 2005 Heartland began renting facilities at the Evergreen Conference Center located at 301 27th St. N.
Our congregation continued to grow and it was becoming apparent once again that we need to find other facilities soon in order to accommodate the new growth.
On Easter of 2009, Heartland had Its first meeting at its new location 1751 main ave east in West Fargo.
From there God has been developing us as a church and leading us in the vision he's given us. We don't want anyone who is perfect (or claims to be), we are real people with real problems and struggles just like everyone else. Come be a part of what God is doing in our community as we grow and become more like Christ together.
