History
of Heart
Cry Ministries
Heart Cry Ministries
was founded by Pastors Roger and Sharon Hornbeck and has grown out of
22 years of ministering to the body of Christ in a variety of settings.
Roger has a B.A. from Portland State University and a Masters of Divinity
from Western Conservative Baptist Seminary. They have held pastoral positions
for twelve years in Brewster, Washington, six years in Santa Maria, California
and now pastor in Flagstaff, Arizona. Roger and Sharon have been married
for 25 years and have 4 children.
Both Roger and Sharon value the richness of the eclectic Christian influences
that have shaped their ministry: Their Baptist upbringing which inspired
a love for the Word of God; Vineyard teaching that has awakened their
hearts to a living, active God; and a love for symbolism inspired from
the liturgical traditions. All of these components have been essential
elements as they have both spoken at and planned a variety of retreats,
seminars and workshops. Topics for such events have encompassed a wide
range of subject matter, including teachings on the heart.
Sharon has taught women's Bible studies on a regular basis, as well as,
served as Director of Women's Ministries. Roger has been trained in a
variety of Biblical counseling methods and in addition to speaking and
teaching, has counseled extensively throughout his pastoral ministry.
His three-year study of 1 Peter 3:15 led to in-depth biblical teaching
on issues of the heart, which has provided a strategic model for spiritual
growth and dynamic heart change. Roger and Sharon value and incorporate
significant prayer ministry time in their varied teaching enviroments.
The experiences, training and leading of the Holy Spirit have culminated
into the formation of Heart Cry Ministries and it is the desire
of Roger and Sharon to help the individual see their heart restored and
transformed into the image of Christ.
