Leadership

Chris has been in full-time ministry since 1994. He has led organizations and churches in Canada, North Carolina, and now, Bakersfield. Chris graduated from Providence Bible College & Seminary in Manitoba where he met his wife Rebecca. They have been married since 1995 and have 2 grown daughters, Hailey and Cassidy. Chris believes that life should be lived to the fullest as prescribed in John 10:10. He loves leading the church and also loves spending time outside and doing activities that are “high-energy” and adventurous

Pastor Roger came to Heritage as the interim Pastor in 2015. In 2016 he began serving in Pastoral Care helping touch the lives of many in our congregation through visiting and helping meet short terms needs through the Shepherding Commission.

It is a most awesome and humbling experience to lead worship with God's people, the bride of Christ. When we worship together, the Holy Spirit moves us to accomplish things that are impossible with man, but possible for God.

Born in central Kansas, Justin grew up on a farm, loving the outdoors. He met a girl named Elise and moved to the big city of Bakersfield. He now runs New Frontier Consulting and serves as the Executive Pastor of HBC. Free time activities include Husker sports, reading history books and outdoor activities.

Serving in Heritage Kids is such a joy for me because I truly believe God calls us to love and guide children in their faith. Each week I get to share God's truth with tender hearts, encourage them as they grow, and remind them that they are deeply loved by Jesus. Heritage Kids isn't just a ministry - it feels like a family, where children can feel safe, cared for, and inspired to live out their faith. I feel blessed to play even a small part in planting seeds that God will continue to grow for His glory. 

I have the joy and privilege of serving as the Church Administrator at Heritage. My role here is to help create an environment where everyone feels welcomed, supported, and encouraged in their faith journey. Whether I'm managing day-to-day operations or assisting with church events, I do everything with a heart full of love for this community and a passion for supporting the work God is doing here.

I love meeting people who are coming to our church for the first time. I enjoy serving the Lord and encourage others to serve. I like doing outdoor activities with my dogs.
