Service Learning

“To equip the whole person for lifelong service.”

Bethel College’s Service Learning Center Washing Feetexists to promote the integration of service with education. We do this by forming partnerships with local nonprofit organizations to provide opportunities for students to serve those in our community and learn the importance of service as Jesus taught us.
