Motivation for your Monday!🎉

Today, our students are having their first Sabbath of the semester! Our deepest hope is that students will find themselves more refreshed and excited. We know when we operate from a place of rest, God can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. 🙌

“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us.”
Ephesians 3:20 NIV

And that wraps up #HCWelcomeWeek 😎

What a powerful way to end this week’s Culture Session’s with a word from our President @markpettus 🙌

This semester, we are encouraging & teaching our students the value of honoring the Sabbath and keeping it holy. One major shift HC is putting into effect this semester for our students to help them prioritize and observe the Sabbath is a new schedule! The new schedule all students will observe will make Mondays a day of rest. 🎉

As President Pettus explained the new schedule change, he also talked about the importance and significance of the Sabbath in life and ministry. He explained what it means to Sabbath, shared examples how a day of rest may look for different people, and what is needed to ensure they Sabbath well.

Through a process of making the day holy, making preparation a priority, making the beginning special, and making the day count --- HC is committed to equipping our students with tools they need to be resolute in the life God has called them to live! 😎

We are Passionate! 🎉

Students learned about how we carry a culture of passion and how to be passionate in EVERYTHING we do — big or small!

Colossians 3:23 says, “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you are working for the Lord rather than for people.” 🙌

We are passionate about seeing others succeed because we are all on the same team. We are passionate about everything we do because God has called us to be. We are passionately in love with Jesus – it is from a righteous hunger for more of God that we find our passion for everything in life.

Thank you to Deven Davis, our Men’s Dean, for bringing the Word and encouraging our new #HCFamily! 😎

Another way that we cultivate a healthy culture at Highlands College is by living a life that’s devoted to surrender. We are surrendered to God + healthy life-giving relationships through weekly chapel services, small groups, and consistent community. 🙌

We love seeing our students walk in a posture of humility. Living a life surrendered to the Lord is key for a life of impact and longevity in ministry!🎉

At Highlands College, we are surrendered. 🙌

We loved hearing from our Women’s Dean, Liz Brauer, for the third Culture Session of the week! 🎉

Here’s a little snippet from today’s HC Culture Session for new students! 👇

At Highlands College, we aim for excellence. 😎

By operating out of excellence, we honor those around us, and all God has entrusted us. Excellence paves the way for leadership and influence. 🎉

We work for the Lord alone and carry with us the fruits of the Spirit so that others may come to know Jesus.

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” - Philippians 4:8

Thank you General Ed Casey for teaching our new students this value and all you do to lead the Character Formation Pillar 🙌

At Highlands College we are passionate about cultivating a healthy and thriving culture based on connection! 🎉

During welcome week the HC team is orienting students to the various ways Highlands College connects and disconnects all in the name of community and relationship. 🙌

One of the many values new students are learning about are the intentional ways HC values and prioritizes relationship and community through intentional times of connection.

Spaces like the Harvest Food Hall and Resolute Cafe, encourage students to share a meal in a screen-free environment. Students will even find a variety of table topics to prompt conversation and discussion. 😎
