Mission

Our vision is to partner with Christ in helping students make the "Exodus 3, Exodus 33 transformation." We want to create an environment and community that will offer upperclass students a life-changing experience with God, like Moses had in Exodus, that moves them from anxious to confident in their transition into life after Bethel as well as creates in them an insatiable hunger to see more of God's glory.

Theme Scripture Verses

Exodus 3:5
Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

Exodus 33:15-18
Then Moses said to him, "If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?" And the LORD said to Moses, "I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name." Then Moses said, "Now show me your glory."

Some Highlights in Heritage

L.A.B.s (Life After Bethel):

L.A.B.s are meant to give practical information and experiences to help students step gracefully into the world beyond Bethel. Past topics included managing finances, exploring service opportunities following graduation, and living the Christian faith in secular workplaces.

Worldviews:

Worldviews are meant to educate students about different sub-cultures outside of our sphere of influence at Bethel that we will come across in our lives after we leave Bethel. We invite speakers from the different sub-cultures to come and present to us their perspectives. We feel that the advantage to having someone outside of our own sub-culture speak is that we will get a better understanding of how other people’s perspectives shape their world.

Other Events in Heritage:

Heritage Concert Series
Worship and Prayer
Service Projects
Leadership Development Opportunities
Social Gatherings

On the photo page, the living area in Heritage is pictured. Each suite has a living room attached to a kitchenette, three bedrooms, and a three-room bathroom (sink, toilet, and shower rooms are all separate, which allows five students to be in the bathroom at one time). Sofa, chairs, and table are provided, yet many students bring in other furniture and accessories to make the place truly their home. In Heritage bedrooms, wardrobes are provided instead of closets to maximize your layout possibilities.
