Meet Heidi, Our Founder

For more than 20 years, Heidi Mongeau has answered a calling to serve God and share the hope of Jesus Christ with others. Her heart for ministry is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: every person deserves to know that they are loved, valued, and created with a purpose.

Throughout her years in ministry, Heidi has led Bible studies, served as a youth group leader for seven years, and walked alongside countless individuals and families as they sought to grow in their faith. Her passion is especially focused on the next generation and creating opportunities for young people to encounter the love of Christ in a way that is genuine, safe, and life-changing.​

In 2021, Heidi founded Heaven’s Child, a nonprofit ministry born from her desire to take the message of Jesus beyond the four walls of the church and into the community. Through Heaven’s Child, Heidi has organized outreach events throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire, bringing hundreds of people together to hear the Gospel, build relationships, and experience the hope found in Jesus Christ. Her ministry reflects her conviction that the church is not simply a building—it is a people called to carry the love and truth of Christ wherever God sends them.​

Today, Heidi serves as the Youth Director at Recovery Church in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Her heart for children and teenagers is at the center of everything she does. Heidi believes that every young person needs a safe place where they can belong, be heard, be encouraged, and be loved. She is passionate about creating an environment where children can laugh, build friendships, ask questions, discover their identity, and most importantly, learn about the love of Jesus.​

Alongside more than two decades of ministry experience, Heidi has spent over 25 years working in education. This experience has given her a firsthand understanding of the challenges facing children and young people today. She understands that today's youth are navigating a world filled with pressure, uncertainty, and difficult choices. Her desire is to meet them where they are, speak truth with love, and help them discover that they do not have to face life's challenges alone. Through her ministry, Heidi seeks to equip young people with biblical truth, practical wisdom, encouragement, and the confidence to walk boldly in their faith.

Heidi's passion is not simply to reach young people—it is to invest in them.

Her mission is simple: to share the love of Jesus, reach beyond the church walls, and help the next generation discover the hope, purpose, and new life found in Christ.  Heidi is supported by a Board of Directors who wholeheartedly support Heidi's mission.
