     The History of Bethshan

Bethshan Association is a non-profit organization that provides residential services for adults with disabilities. Founded in 1978 with support from the Reformed and Christian Reformed church community, the vision of Bethshan was taken from it's Biblical meaning which is "house of refuge and security". Parents, whose children with disabilities were reaching adulthood, soon realized that their options were limited. A unique coalition of parents and church supporters developed and became dedicated to providing the highest quality care possible for the developmentally disabled population that Bethshan would serve.

Today Bethshan has far exceeded the vision of it's original founders, and serves over 120 persons with disabilities in a wide array of programs. Bethshan fulfills it's mission to provide the highest quality of services and supports through a unique, Christ-centered life that pledges to provide an environment that is responsive to the needs and expectations of persons with disabilities.
