Bethel will provide each registered church with:

  • A 6-ft table for display and informational materials
  • Two complimentary tickets for lunch in Monson Dining Center (you may purchase additional if needed)
  • We will NOT provide any electric hookup. Plan on your laptop battery if you bring a laptop. No large electronics.

Each registered church should bring:

  • A tablecloth or covering for a 6-ft table.
  • Information for students, such as maps to church, service times, transportation, service opportunities, small-group opportunities, etc.
  • Something to attract students, such as candy or a game with prizes. Do NOT bring homemade food or food to prepare on campus.
  • Optional: Up to 6 posters about your church that Bethel will post in designated places around campus (11x17" max).

Arrival Instructions

  • Review a campus map to get familiar with campus locations.
  • Please arrive by 8:30 a.m. to unload, park, and check in.
  • Unload at Kresge Courtyard (between Nelson Hall and Wellness Center). Students will help you move your items to your assigned table.
  • Once you've unloaded, park in East, West, or Heritage Lots (in that order for best proximity)--or at our Anderson Center campus. Parking is limited, so carpooling is best.
  • About Anderson Center parking: This campus is at 2 Pine Tree Dr in Arden Hills. Park to the left as you enter the lot (State Fair parking is to the right). A shuttle runs regularly between Anderson's main entrance and the Lundquist Community Life Center (CLC).
  • Go to the check-in table in the Brushaber Commons Atrium to get your table assignment and drop off any posters.
  • Attend the orientation at 9:15 in the Underground.
  • Return to your table at 10:15 to finalize your table setup.
Other Ways to Connect with Students
  • If you'd like your church to be listed in Bethel's church directory, please submit this directory form. (This form also captures your transportation services, if offered, and these details are published in a transportation directory.)
  • If you want Bethel to hang posters on campus to promote your church for a limited time, submit this poster form and bring your posters (up to 6) to the fair.
