Kidron Bethel Village moving forward with improvements The Kansan The relationship between Bethel College and Kidron Bethel Villiage of North Newton is a unique one. Students in staff roles, volunteer arrangements and social events allow generations to connect. Likewise, the college hosts Kidron residents for various events, including its annual Life Enrichment series that provides learning opportunities for those ages 60 and older. “Anywhere from 150 to 200 of our students work at Kidron every year,” said Bethel College President Jon Gering. “That’s part of our goal to become a work college and have gainful employment for every student. We’re very glad that Kidron is a partner in that process.”
