Our Story

Thank you for visiting The Heart!

We fell in love with our beautiful community and people the moment we moved here in 2006.  Raydeane is a native Idahoan and Jonathan was born and raised in South Carolina. We have two super cool kids, Seth and Jaymee, and were blessed with two more amazing kids Mikyah and Tofer, when they each married.  We have served as youth/associate pastors in Eureka, California, Boise, Idaho and Vancouver, Washington before God began to stir the beginnings of Heart of the City Church in our spirits. 

We have an amazing team/staff we get to serve alongside.  Our community at The Heart has grown in an extraordinary way over the years with so many precious gifts (people) that are engaged in touching and impacting the lost, hurting, oppressed and neglected with the love of Jesus. We support several countries/missionaries and have church plants in Arizona and Honduras.  The Heart is truly a family that transcends age, ethnicity, and socio-economic status. Together, we are partnering with God to build his Kingdom here on earth.  Plus, we’re a lot of fun to be with!

We have weekend gatherings on Saturday night, Sunday morning with lots of small groups (CitiGroups) that meet through out the week:  From our food bank, to our equine ministry, bible studies, and hiking groups…there truly is something for everyone.  God never meant for us to do life alone. We believe we are better together.

We hope your visit to our website is just the first step to you personally finding your place at The Heart. 

Blessings and love,

Pastors JO and Raydeane Owens
