Welcome to our page. Oh yes, we are Joel and Mary. We love God and each other. We have been married since 1980 and love it. We have been blessed with three daughters, three sons (in-love) and nine wonderful grandchildren (two of them are in heaven). We are the children's pastors at Emmanuel Congregational Church in Ridgetown, Ontario. We currently live in Chatham-Kent.

We have been in ministry together since 1980. If you would like to hear some of the sermons Joel has preached, you can find links to the audio here.

We also have three blogs:

• The Heimbecker Chronicles lets you know how we view life.


• Joel and Mary Heimbecker: The Business Side of Things tells you what we are up to, the ministry we are involved in, and how we do life.


• Nain's Legacy invites you into our lives and history.


• We also have our own channel on YouTube. Our channel name is joelnmary. Due to Covid-19 we have started uploading videos suitable for children. Please check us out, and if you so choose, you can also become a subscriber so that you would be notified when new content is available.


• Coming soon will be On Target with Joel, which will be featuring the archery side of our lives.
