Bethel Uni­ver­sity Hosts Mis­sion­ary Church His­tor­i­cal So­ci­ety

MISHAWAKA- The Mis­sion­ary Church His­tor­i­cal So­ci­ety (MCHS) is host­ing an event at Bethel Uni­ver­sity on March 26.

Ac­cord­ing to Tim­o­thy Erdel, Ph.D., and Cu­ra­tor of the Mis­sion­ary Church Archives Kevin Blow­ers, the his­tor­i­cal so­ci­ety was founded on Bethel’s cam­pus in 1979 to pre­serve the his­tory of the Mis­sion­ary church. MCHS col­lects doc­u­ments and ma­te­ri­als re­lated to the Mis­sion­ary Church and its his­tory and also pub­lishes a his­tor­i­cal jour­nal.  

Be­fore COVID-19 the MCHS hosted events twice a year. At these events, peo­ple from the Mis­sion­ary Church share their per­sonal sto­ries and their faith jour­neys. 

The event will take place in the Kelly Au­di­to­rium at 10 a.m.  For­mer Pres­i­dent of the Mis­sion­ary Church Bill Hossler will be speak­ing on the call to min­istry.
