The Mennonite Church has a long history of valuing education and has offered a unique relational approach to it's educational institutions. Educational institutions in the Mennonite Church are owned and operated by the church and experience connection to the church from church constituency who relate as faculty, board members, students and alumni. Hesston College has embraced this two-way relationship model of the church and deeply values it.
Churches provide prayers, students and financial contributions to the college.
The college provides educational resource opportunities both on it's campus and in the churches. Our goal is to educate and develop the full potential of every student within our community, lead them towards the model of the life of Jesus Christ and to send them out as active participants in the church and the world. We value your opinions and concerns and seek to be faithful as a Christian higher educational institution. A Sunday is set aside each year to highlight Mennonite Church schools in local congregations. Hesston College representatives bring greetings and share an update in congregations in states selected on a rotating schedule.
