Who Are We?

Welcome to the Youth Ministry Resource Web Page from Hesston College.
This site is unique in three ways:

1. It offers original games, crowd-breakers, and Bible studies that have been tested in field experience.
2. All of these resources have been evaluated for their theological content and congruence with Anabaptist beliefs and practices.
3. Soon you will be able to discuss current issues and ask for specific resources through our Hesston College YM discussion group.
