Heart Holds are specific and basic teachings that all Christians should be able to refer to at any moment. They may be items to memorize, Scriptures to read, or concepts to understand and put into practice.  Each month will be a different type of something for you to “hold on to” to help you stay firm in your faith.

We want all of our Alameda family members to continue growing in their faith. Too often, believers of all ages become discouraged by their circumstances and turn away from God. We don't want this for any of our church family. We want you to be faithful to the end!  

For our children and youth, our hope is that these Heart Holds encourage them to begin developing a habit of learning God's Word and His plan for their lives. We desire each generation to stay strong in the Lord and pass on their faith to the next generation.

If you join us, you will have the entire month to master the Heart Hold for that month. If you are participating in a Heart Hold, let us know because we want to encourage you and cheer you on!

Our hope is that Heart Holds will encourage you daily and strengthen your heart so you will hold tightly to your faith in Jesus.
