OUR STORY

First, let’s start with a brief bit of history. Heart Publications grew out of the ministry of Dr. Steve Pettit, a man who faithfully proclaimed the gospel in local churches for over 25 years. In 1992, Steve and his wife, Terry, established a team of young musicians and preachers to travel with them in the ministry of evangelism. Three years later, Steve founded Heart Publications in order to produce and distribute the team’s resources to churches and individuals worldwide. Throughout the course of the Pettits’ ministry, over 55 team members served alongside them as they ministered in hundreds of churches, produced nearly 20 recorded albums, and published a variety of sheet music resources.

In 2014, the evangelistic team formally ended as God moved the Pettits into a brand new ministry at Bob Jones University. Recently, Steve & Terry have also decided to formally step away from Heart Publications to allow new leadership to continue the company’s mission.

"This new phase of ministry is guided by an advisory counsel of like-minded church musicians and pastors with similar background and ministry experience."

As we move forward, we are committed to producing resources that are biblically grounded, local church driven, and representative of a variety of perspectives to local church worship.

Ultimately, we desire to provide tools that worship pastors and lay-leaders can use to encourage vibrant corporate and individual worship for the glory of God. Therefore, you can expect recorded albums, new sheet music, 'how-to' blog posts, and more from Heart Publications!
