Heritage Seminary holds several values in regard to student services. First, we seek to provide a community of disciples. Although each individual’s ability to commit time to the community may vary, it is important for students, faculty, and staff to emphasize mutual support and accountability in light of God’s word. Second, we believe that our students are adult learners bringing individual needs and gifts. Thus we seek to treat students with respect, to value their consciences, and to challenge them to grow in a holistic fashion. Seminary education is not just about learning a set of skills; it is about becoming a man or woman of God. Finally, we believe that non-academic programs and activities should grow out of student need and concern. As individuals and groups seek support or are energized with ideas, the seminary will seek to provide the assistance necessary to permit such concerns to be addressed. Programs, Activities, Services The opportunities for involvement in community activities are both varied and voluntary. On Tuesday mornings, everyone present on campus (employees, Seminary students and College students) gathers for our all-institution chapel. On Thursdays, the Seminary community holds its own chapel service. Prayer luncheons, support groups, worship times, and common meals are all samples of activities initiated by students and supported by the Seminary. The new Seminary Student Association is exploring ways of expanding such offerings. Seminary students are afforded full access to the Heritage Community Centre with its lounge, games room, gymnasium, fitness centre, and cafeteria. In addition, depending upon schedules, Seminary students are invited to join in daily chapels organized at the college level and are often welcomed to join in larger social gatherings planned by the College Student Association. Athletics An increasing emphasis is being placed on the athletics program and new projects are being undertaken continually. Our school also offers intramural programs and annual sports challenges. Our facilities include a full-sized gym with a cushioned hardwood floor, a fitness room, and a rock-climbing wall. The Athletics Department is designed to assist students in understanding the use of sports in ministry. From the development of outreach programs, informal teaching, or planned seminars, students are encouraged to integrate their love of sports with their love of God. Computer Lab For the convenience of students, a computer lab is available for general use. Residence students also have internet access available in their rooms. |
