Mount Hermon Theme Verses Through History

Mount Hermon's Theme Verse

Each year the Mount Hermon Board of Directors selects a "Theme Verse" for the coming year of ministry at Mount Hermon. Verses for consideration are recommended to the Board by interested people on Mount Hermon's staff.

The verse the Board selects is then painted onto the redwood plank that hangs above the Auditorium stage. The theme is also incorporated into the summer's Family Camp events, and the Crafts Program cross stitch kit.
