Hesston College Takes Sabbatical from Pastoral Ministries Program for Discernment Process

Hesston College Takes Sabbatical from Pastoral Ministries Program for Discernment Process

Hesston College has decided to take a one-year sabbatical from its Pastoral Ministries program to conduct a discernment process. This decision follows a review by a specially appointed planning committee, which concluded that the program, in its current form, was unsustainable. The college's Board of Directors accepted the committee's assessment and recommendation to pause student recruitment for a year. The program, established in 1985, traditionally served adult learners seeking new career paths in ministry, particularly those for whom seminary was not an option. Low enrollment in recent years prompted the college to re-evaluate the program's long-term viability in light of changing leadership needs within Mennonite Church USA and the broader church. The sabbatical will allow the college to explore these evolving needs and reshape its approach to preparing future leaders.
