Bethel Seminary San Diego: A Work in Progress
Room to Grow
The "Taking the Next Step" campaign is also active on the West Coast.
Bethel Seminary San Diego plans to remodel and expand to better serve current students and prepare for continuing ministry and growth. A $5.3 million capital project is slated to transform the facility.
The project can be divided into three parts:
- Expansion of facilities to include a 380-seat chapel/conference center, three new classrooms, a lounge and kitchen, as well as room for media technology and specialized instruction.
- Retrofitting of existing building to increase classroom, office, and library space.
- Increasing scholarships, program support, and ministry outreach.
Currently, the Bethel Seminary San Diego expansion pro-ject is in the fundraising stage. According to Bruce Kunkel, vice president for campus services, the city of San Diego is considering zoning approval.
"The expansion of the seminary will offer facility improvements in several areas. The main entrance from Arosa Street will provide a welcoming and gracious entry into the newly expanded seminary complex," said Kunkel. "This new ‘front door,’ along with the sweeping architecture of the chapel roof, will identify Bethel Seminary San Diego as a place of faith and scholarship."
