Assistant Pastor Kevin & Sarah Zaun

​Kevin and Sarah Zaun came to Fargo in 2003 after they felt God calling them to plant Heartland Community Church. They came with their four children with a dream to start this ministry. They dreamed of a church that people could call home.  A place here people could feel like they're part of a "family." Heartland is a place to be loved and accepted no matter what you have done or where you have been.

They are open about how they have overcome some of their own struggles, and share how Christ has healed them throughout their lives. They love chatting with new people over a nice cup of coffee! Sarah is also the nurse here at Heartland.
Admin Pastor Lora & Al  Schoepp

Lora came on staff in 2010 as the church secretary and felt a call on her life to become a Pastor. Reaching this goal in 2016 she became the Administrative Pastor.
​
Al and Lora have 8 children and they have a great love for children to know the Lord and to see them empowered to do great things for God even when they are young. Most Sundays, you will find them teaching in the preschool room
