The Van Halsema Legacy Society

The Dick and Thea Van Halsema Legacy Society is a group of like-minded supporters who have chosen to give a legacy gift to Kuyper College.

Partners in life and mission, Dr. Dick and Mrs. Thea Van Halsema invested their time and passion into their leadership roles at Reformed Bible Institute (RBI)/Reformed Bible College (RBC).  Dick served as the President of the College from 1966 to 1987, while Thea supported the College in a variety of roles during that time, including Dean of Women, Dean of Students, and Professor of Social Work.

Together, they started many innovative academic and evangelism-based programs.  These years of progress shaped the school we all deeply appreciate, today known as Kuyper College.

Psalm 24:1-6

The Earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;

…for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters. Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?

The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.  They will receive blessings from the Lord and vindication from God their savior.

Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob.
