Every Thursday, our Heartland students experience a chapel that is specific to them. It includes live worship (which Heartland students are often a part of) and a message by Heartland Director Dillon or a guest speaker.

On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, students start their day off with one hour of devotional time. They also have thirty minutes of devotional time allotted for after chapel on Thursday.

First, second, and third year students participate in weekly Scripture Studies. Depending on their year, students will either read through the entire Bible and take a short test on their assigned readings, do a deeper study on a specific passage, or have the opportunity to write sermon outlines.

All Heartland students participate in a book discussion throughout the year. Topics often include discipleship, leadership, and ministry. Discussions take place over lunch weekly as a large group or in smaller groups.

All of our Heartland students have the opportunity to participate in and serve at conferences throughout the school year. Some of these conferences include Thrive, Minnesota Youth Convention, other states' youth conventions, Called Conference, and District Council/EQUIP Conference.

We value biblical community. Our students participate in a mentorship program where they are able to have mentorship meetings with someone in the River of Life community or in their sphere of influence. They are also able to get connected with River of Life's Young Adult ministry which meets every Monday night.
