History of our church

Heritage Baptist Church began as a small Bible study in Mount Pleasant in June 2000. The first Sunday service was held on August 27, 2000 at the Mount Pleasant Recreation Center and attendees continued to meet at that location for nearly 3 years. In 2003, an office space on 500 West was secured; and on March 22, 2003 - with just 3 members along side the founding pastor and his wife, David and Millie Preston - the church was officially organized. Over the next 7 years, other believers were added to the small body and it was necessary to seek a new meeting location! God provided in a miraculous way and a foreclosed medical building was purchased in September 2011. This current building has been renovated and serves as a wonderful sanctuary for weekly meetings. Pastor Richard Boyle was called to be the pastor in the fall of 2024.  God has continued to bless both spiritually and numerically over the years and we look forward to what He has in store for us ahead!

Richard and Rebecca were married in 1997.  They have had a variety of ministry experiences including, pastoring, full-time evangelism, church planting helps and a vibrant children's ministry.  Richard earned a ministry bachelors degree and he and Rebecca were heavily involved in planting Refuge Baptist Church in Cumming, GA.  Before moving to Utah, God used them for 5 years assisting the ministry of Christ Life Baptist of Bunker Hill, IL.  They have 5 children, a son-in-law, daughter-in-law and 3 grandchildren.  They have a burden for the west, specifically the Utah region.  Richard was called by Heritage Baptist Church to be its Pastor in 2024.  They love hiking and riding ATV's in the mountains of Utah when they have free time.  Their life verses are  Proverbs 3:5-6.
