Our Mission

Heartland to Holy Land Productions is a special purpose production venture whose mission is to share a stage for billions of people around the world, along with friends and family in Bethlehem, bringing together incredible talent from around the globe to help call so many of us to the urgent and necessary work to mend our world and work for peace. Our organization’s initial project is launching an annual, global benefit concert to support the restoration of the Church of the Nativity and to support the people of Bethlehem. We are based in Nashville, Tennessee with partners across the world. Our goal is to curate a set of experiences throughout the Holy Land for travelers, leading up to a Christmas performance, where artists and visitors can dive deep into the rich history, incredible culture, and modern realities of this unique place.

A Virtual Benefit for the
Church of the Nativity

December 25, 2021 at 12 p.m. ET

A select group of artists was invited to spend Christmas in Bethlehem, virtually, for a special event with worldwide reach in the courtyard of the Church of the Nativity on Christmas Day. This event sought to support the people of Bethlehem and fund restoration projects at the Church of the Nativity, which houses the grotto where Jesus Christ was born. It is the oldest major church in the Holy Land and the oldest site continuously used as a place of worship. This performance brought award winning artists from America's Heartland together with local talent to preview what a live, in-person series of programs could look like in 2022 and beyond.
