School Notes:

  • With nearly 500 students, you'll find opportunities for life, learning, and leadership that are distinct even among small colleges.
  • With a two-year general studies curriculum, you'll gain the kind of academic and professional preparation that most schools put off until the junior and senior years.
  • With a spiritual dimension that permeates most of what we do, you'll become a valued member of a tightly-knit community of learners, teachers, and friends.
  • Hesston's Campus Pastor provides a variety of resources and services to encourage students to grow in their spiritual journeys. The Campus Pastor fosters Christian community through mod life and small groups--including Bible studies, book studies, 40-day accountability groups, and open discussion groups. He coordinates mission-related activities including mentoring opportunities through Big Brothers/Big Sisters, jail visitation, and a middle school tutoring program plus service opportunities such as spring break service trips, and mission and service emphasis days during which representatives from a variety of mission and service agencies come to campus to visit with students. The Campus Pastor also plans or helps students plan worship events including weekly Campus Worship gatherings, a pastor-in-residence program, and a spiritual life retreat each semester.
