Online Giving
We appreciate your financial support and stewardship of this church and its ministries. By sowing into this fertile ground you can expect the promise of Luke 6:38 when the words fell from the lips of The Master to, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over.”
We have an event every month for the community. All events are free of charge. Join us for our August Event which is Movie Night. Everyone is welcome.
About Us
Our Church and Congregation
Heartland Fellowship was organized in 1933 in the Valley Forge area. Members of Heartland met in the first church building located on Park Avenue in Elizabethton, TN from 1947 to 2007. Marvin Slagle began pastoring in 1992. After much prayer by Pastor Slagle and the congregation, God blessed Heartland Fellowship with the land and efforts needed to build a new church. The new church building was completed in 2007. The first service at the new location was held on December 2, 2007. Since then God has continued to bless our congregation and our efforts to build the Kingdom of God under His direction. It is the desire of this Church that you will receive spiritual strength and instruction through worship, prayer, fellowship and The Word of God. We are a Full Gospel, Bible believing fellowship. Our church is a local ministry of the Church of God of Prophecy, Cleveland, TN. The Church of God of Prophecy is a world-wide Pentecostal organization.

Statement of Faith
As an affiliate of the Church of God of Prophecy:
- We believe the Bible is God’s Holy Word, inspired, inerrant, and infallible. We believe the Bible to be God’s written revelation of Himself to mankind and our guide in all matters of faith; therefore, we look to the Bible as our highest authority for doctrine, practice, organization, and discipline.
- We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died to save us.
- We believe that the Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God and is the final authority for doctrine.
- We believe in His atoning death on the cross, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory at His Second Coming.
- We profess that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential for the salvation of sinful man.
- We believe that sanctification by the blood of Christ makes possible personal holiness.
- We affirm the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling we are given gifts of service to be used in Kingdom building.
- We believe in the sanctity of human life; we are also committed to the sanctity of the marriage bond between a man and a woman and the importance of strong, loving Christian families.
