Our Mission Statement
In response to the Good News of Jesus Christ, Heartland Presbyterian Center provides hospitality and programming in a natural setting for individuals, families, churches, and the community.
Founded in 1958, Heartland Presbyterian Center is a mission of the Presbyteries of Heartland and Northern Kansas, Synod of Mid-America, Presbyterian Church (USA), providing shelter, nurture and spiritual fellowship for the children of God.
The Summer Camp program at Heartland Center has grown to be one of the largest summer Christian summer camps in the nation. Children and youth grow in their faith as they experience God’s love through caring counselors and new friends in this safe and nurturing environment. All kids, regardless of faith background are welcome to this wonderful program. Our Day Camp program has been in operation for four years, providing a fun and engaging alternative to child care in the summer months.
Our Conference Center and retreat lodges offer simple but comfortable meeting facilities for churches, families and community organizations in a natural setting. Heartland Center is just twenty minutes from downtown Kansas City and less than 15 minutes from Kansas City International Airport. Numerous shopping and entertainment districts are nearby, or for a slower pace visit the historic communities of Parkville and Weston, Missouri.
Heartland Center Challenge Adventures provide opportunities for your group to learn and grow together.
Heartland Center also sponsors many adult programs. Whether your interest lies in new knowledge, the arts, or simple rest and relaxation, Heartland Center provides shelter, nurture, and spiritual fellowship for the children of God.
