The H.E.R.D. is a group of teenagers who are passionate about reaching their friends and neighbors for Jesus. H.E.R.D. is an acronym that stands for His Engaged Righteous Disciples. We believe Jesus is our good shepherd (John 10:14). As his followers we believe it is important that we follow His example in everything we do and understand our role in His plan.<\/p>\n
