A one-week summer residency for high schoolers at Gordon College
Discover a heritage.
Come do life alongside a cohort of new friends from around the globe, reflecting together on your place in the larger story of God's faithfulness to God’s people—your "heritage." Consider our shared inheritance in morning sessions on Scripture and trade stories from your own experience as we explore Boston’s historic cobblestones.
Create habits.
Engage in practices from a variety of church expressions that increase our capacity for creativity and play—as G.K. Chesterton puts it, giving “room for good things to run wild.” Explore your God-given authority to create in faculty workshops on artmaking or public story and evening cooking classes in the Gordon College kitchen.
Experience hope.
Renew your imagination for what an abundant life could look like. Delight in not just a head knowledge of God’s goodness, but embodied experiences of it—taste and see God’s faithfulness in hearty meals, honest conversations with your small group, and communal living on a college campus.
Why Join Us at Heritage?
You were created to rejoice.
To delight in the goodness of God. To participate in the creation of beautiful things. To laugh. To dance. To be so filled with the presence and praise of Jesus that you can’t help but overflow with kindness to the people around you.
But so many things stifle our rejoicing...
Busyness. Numbness. Others’ expectations. The reality of pain.
What if those things didn’t define you? What if you were given the tools to shake off anxiety and apathy? What if you were freed to wonder and create and feast?
Enter Heritage.
Rhythms of Renewal
In a one-week residency this summer, Heritage offers an embodied, daily-habits-focused experience of a rejoicing life.
This tight-knit community commits to living on campus and practicing these daily rhythms of rejoicing:
1. Laughter-filled conversations over breakfasts and lunches
2. Morning Assemblies tracing God’s faithfulness to His people in Scripture
3. Faculty workshops that provide hands-on lessons in the creative arts
4. Excursions that reveal God’s beauty in beaches, cities, and farms alike
5. Solo reflection time to rest in the peace of a gentle God
6. Evening cooking classes as an exercise of hospitality
7. Small group time to process and encourage one another
