Bedford House

Bedford House at Phillips Theological Seminary was built for students
to develop the relationships and engage in the conversations that
form exceptional ministers and theological leaders.

Beyond our student community, Bedford House serves as a vibrant
hub for meaningful gatherings of all kinds. This welcoming space
brings people together for celebrations, retreats, and important
conversations. Here, your community can share meals, exchange
ideas, and build lasting relationships around shared values.

Our guest rooms offer a peaceful retreat designed with your comfort in mind. Each room features an en suite bathroom, climate control, and thoughtful amenities that allow you to rest well and work productively.

Whether you're staying for a weekend retreat or an extended visit, you'll find a welcoming space that feels like a home away from home. Single king and double queen accommodations are available to suit your needs.

There are many vibrant and wonderful spaces at Bedford House for study, meetings, and renewal.
