Our Story
Heartwood Church is a replant of Alliance Bible Church in Covington, WA. The name ‘Heartwood’ comes from the inner-core of the tree that dies as the tree ages. Heartwood provides the tree with strength for the purpose continued growth and new life.
We believe that Jesus is our Heartwood - the one who died to give us strength and new life. He lives at the center of our life and being. As followers of Jesus, we follow His example by sacrificially loving and serving the peoples, neighborhoods and communities we live, work and play in.
“In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.” (Isaiah 61:3)
