A Lifelong Series of Bethel Connections
Fred Berndt Jr.’s boyhood home was just a block away from Snelling Avenue in St. Paul, the street where Bethel’s former campus was located. His home for 42 years has been in Arden Hills, Bethel’s current location. But geography is just one of a series of connections between Berndt and Bethel that began with his parents.
