A gift on ROAR Day is a gift to students being formed for lives of impact.

Each year on ROAR Day, the Bethel community comes together to invest in something that lasts—students learning to center their lives on Jesus, growing through challenging academics, and preparing to live out their calling in their work and communities. Join alumni, parents, donors, and friends coming together to impact Bethel students.

 

ROAR Day reaches far beyond campus.

From nearby neighborhoods to across the country, watch generosity spread in real time.

Join the momentum.

See how real people are making a real difference—right now.

See your impact.

Every gift fuels stories like these. Hear how students are being transformed at Bethel—and why your support matters.

Your donations have given me opportunities I couldn’t have dreamed of, and someday I want to make that possible for the next generation as well.

Bethel taught me how to live life with intention, and, as a result, the Lord has changed my heart to live missionally.

I was called to study science at Bethel because of its Christ-centered approach. My professors recognize the complex nature of the human body as evidence of a Creator.

They didn’t just help fix my resume. They helped me understand what employers look for—and how to show that I’m ready for real work, not just class projects.

I’ve learned a lot in both business and how to be a leader and a better Christian on a daily basis. I look at how I can be a servant leader to my employees and serve Christ. It is that public pulpit which I choose to serve.

Coach always asks us, who do you want to be? What kind of man do you want to be? Yeah, we won a lot of games, but those simple questions shaped everything for me, for my leadership on the field, to how I live my life off it.

Founder and CEO of The Reel Hope Project
I’m not the one healing. I’m of the opinion that God heals. I’m more of a tool in His hand, and it’s cool to be used in that way.
