Leadership Structure
Jesus Christ is the head of Heartland Community Church, and as a community, our desire is to honor and reflect Jesus Christ in all we do and how we do it.
There are four groups of people who lead the ministries of Heartland: the Elders, the Board of Directors, the Directional Leadership Team, and the staff. The goal of each of these groups of leaders is to help you discover what you were made for by providing the tools you need to unlock God's plan for your life.
A significant thing that makes Heartland different is that one person does not hold the traditional role of the senior pastor. Instead, several individuals use their individual gifts and strengths to lead the church.
Mark Bankord is Heartland's Directional Leader and co-founder. Mark is a visionary leader and provides directional leadership to the Heartland staff and the church body. Mark leads the Directional Leadership Team, chairs the Board of Directors and meets with the elders.
Doug Thiesen is Heartland's Lead Pastor. He partnered with Mark and Sherri Bankord to start Heartland and for the first ten years served as Heartland's Music Director and Worship Leader. He is an ordained minister. Today, Doug serves in areas of spiritual direction throughout Heartland. He is part of the Directional Leadership Team and also meets with and gives input to the Board of Directors and Elders as needed.
Mike Breaux is Heartland's weekend Teaching Pastor. His primary role is to provide transformational teaching every weekend. Mike leads a team of other gifted teachers that teach periodically on the weekend or in other ministries of Heartland. Mike is part of the Directional Leadership Team.
