Heritage Work, The
The Heritage Work vision is to make pastoral care, mentorship, marriage vision, and spiritual friendship available through organic relationship and neighborly hospitality, making friends of strangers, to my local community, outside the organized church to anyone seeking wholeness.
The Heritage Work is in its 23rd year. It is a pastor, Pat Harrison, and his wife Sarah, learning the art of availability and invitation, practicing welcoming hospitality toward his neighbors, the stranger, and the very next person they meet, modeling for them to do the same. They serve alongside an advisory committee and is guided by their wisdom, and the vision mutually guides their lives as well. Pat and Sarah are available to be with people on their life journey, willing to pray and respond with wisdom and understanding to their questions about how to live spiritually in a world of ambiguity and distraction. The method is to emulate the way of Jesus, walking the neighborhoods, inviting to their property of mountain solitude and solace, and knowing people by name.
The world has never been more connected and affluent, yet never more disconnected, depressed, hopeless, fear-based, polarized, and fragmented than now. Our vision is that hope and genuine transformation is possible, begin at home, and spread life to life, through genuine modeling and mentorship in love, being present to those already at our doorstep.
