Our Mission

The Hein Institute for Community Renewal grew out of Waterloo Church, Inc., a Colorado-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit with roots dating back to 2013. Today, we're focused on preserving the history of our Longmont property and the families connected to it, and building educational programming that puts that history to work for the community around us.
