Your student life experience at Bethel will forever change you. Embrace shared moments with friends in residence halls or intentional living communities. Reach out to the community through our annual service day opportunity. Open your heart during chapel worship services.
From dorm life to Service Learning experiences, Bethel provides you the chance to connect with others and make a difference on campus and in the community. We have fun campus activities like intramurals, performing arts for viewing and participating, and clubs for specific majors or for leadership. If you need a job, there are options to explore. We also have a variety of dining options right on campus and many restaurants close by.
Explore where you can live: Men's Housing, Women's Housing, intentional living communities, and married housing.
Service Day: Explore how you can serve (campus-wide service day, food drive, packing food boxes, etc.).
Our mission is to train you to be ambassadors for Christ. At chapel, often referred to as “the heartbeat of Bethel College," you’ll unite three times a week with the Bethel community for a time of worship through music and teaching.
You’ll grow through experiences in discipleship groups, spiritual mentoring programs, one-on-one mentoring with faculty/staff members, Bible study groups, and more.
Finally, spiritual emphasis week challenges each student to focus on their own personal journey.
