Community

Find your place.
Grow in community.

Bethel is all about community. That means making friends and memories to last a lifetime. But it’s about more than that. Here, we challenge each other just as much as we support each other.

Our students are gracious servants, compassionate friends, and thoughtful neighbors who are intentional about helping each other grow, and having a lot of fun while they’re at it.

Faith

Live out your faith. Spread Christ’s love.

Here, we take everything we believe and infuse it into everything we do. It’s not just something we talk about. We work hard to understand Christ’s message and try our best to spread his love, every day.

We know this isn’t easy. It asks a lot from each one of us. That’s why we don’t work at it alone. Our community is full of people to support you as you build a personal Christian foundation and challenge you to serve with compassion, humility, and grace.
