Heist-Goor has its own church, the Saint Alfons church. This church is situated in the center of the place, in the Pastoor Mellaertsstraat (which is the most important street of the hamlet). The church has two bells: the lighter Saint Alfons bell and the heavier Saint Franciscus bell. In the tower there is also a gsm-transmitter.

In the Pastoor-Mellaertsstraat there's also the primary school of Heist-Goor, the Gesubsidieerde Vrije Basisschool Heist-Goor. The hamlet hasn't got a secondary school. The secondary schools which are the closest bij Heist-Goor, the Heilig-Hartmiddenschool and the Koninklijk Technisch Atheneum, are in the hamlets Heist-Station and Heist-Centrum.

Also the local parish hall is in this Pastoor Mellaertsstraat.
