Rhythms of the Week

Habits of Creativity

Heritage is a space for healthy struggle. 

We were made in the image of a Creator God who calls us to fill the earth with beautiful things as we gaze upon and reflect His beauty. We have settled for lesser pleasures that diminish our view of self and the world. It is in acts of creating and reordering raw materials that we find our desires reshaped for the better. In this process, we will run up against weaknesses. However, at Heritage, we wrestle with our limits within a safe environment for the purpose of deep formation. 

Habits of Creativity: Faculty Workshops, Aesthetics Workshops

"If there is one thing I have learned during my week at Heritage it's that once you start looking for God's beauty, you can't stop finding it. His handiwork is in every aspect of life from the smallest flower in the ground to the most beautiful flaming sunset. His love is in the littlest berry to a delicious spaghetti and meatball dinner. And with that knowledge, there is nothing you can do but praise him in every aspect of your life."

Habits of Hospitality

Heritage is an invitation to welcome. 

In a divine act of hospitality, God created humanity for loving communion with Himself. He generously shared what He had created. As ones who have been hosted so well, we have the privilege of welcoming others. We practice this radical hospitality every day at Heritage by setting the ever-expanding table of Jesus for guests who become friends.  

Habits of Hospitality: Cooking Classes, Aesthetics Workshops, Dinner Hosting

"Not only were we able to practice caring for others by preparing delicious and beautiful food for them, we did the preparation in community, learned from each other and the chefs, and enjoyed the experience of being part of something that served others and mattered as part of the bigger picture. I also loved seeing the other participants enjoy the meal I had helped to provide."

Habits of Reflection

Heritage is an opportunity to re-evaluate.

What we behold is what we become. In other words, the things we pay most attention to are what will end up forming who we are. What we believe about ourselves and the world around us deeply informs how we act. Heritage offers a space for you to evaluate your core beliefs and renew your commitment to them for the sake of empowered living. If transformation comes through renewing the mind, then we say renewal comes by way of reflection. 

Habits of Reflection: Morning Assembly Devotional, Solo Time, Small Groups

"Getting to spend time alone with myself and God in reflection and prayer was very moving. Solo time gave me a moment through the busy day to relax and take in God's beauty. Every day I sat in front of the bell with a breathtaking view of the Chapel. I enjoyed being with a group for most of the time during the week, but the quiet and peace of solo time is something I will never forget."

Habits in Community

Heritage is a place and a people.

Habits in Community: Residential Living, Cultural Excursions, House Competitions

Welcome to a way of existing together modeled after the way of Jesus. At Heritage, we explore our common identity as creations of the Lord while highlighting the particular ways God has designed each of us to be valuable contributors to this shared story. Gathering in community united in purpose is powerful. It is in this context that we find ourselves pulled further into transformation. We each offer a unique perspective to the whole when we show up as ourselves.

"I didn't know until this week how much daily worship, music, and prayer shapes my life and my relationship with God. Being given a rhythm that encompasses all of these components allowed me to experience true rest and refreshment."
