DeAnna’s Story

I first heard about Bethel as a college freshman when I developed a friendship with several Bethel students that I attended church with. They passionately talked about Bethel’s commitment to the Christian faith, the awesome chapel services, and the personal relationship formed with their professors. It sounded almost too good to be true, but now I see that Bethel is exactly how they described and so much more. The Bethel community is truly a family and a place where you will develop spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. I am excited and grateful that God has led me here!
