Learning in Community

You’ll grow in your faith—together with others—through authentic community and shared spiritual formation.

At Bethel Seminary, we believe formation happens in community. Seminary students grow intellectually, spiritually, and personally through meaningful connection—with God, with peers, and with faculty. Whether online or on campus, you’ll be part of a Christ-guided community that supports who you’re becoming. Together, we’ll seek truth, sharpen character, and deepen our callings as we prepare to serve the world.

Covenant for community

Spiritual formation is central to seminary life at Bethel. Our Covenant for Life Together invites all seminary students into a shared commitment to honor Christ in our relationships, decisions, and community life. It calls us to love one another well, challenge one another with humility, and model Christlike integrity in all we do.

Affirmation of Faith

What we believe shapes how we learn, lead, and live. Bethel Seminary students affirm a shared theological foundation through our Affirmation of Faith—grounding our leadership development in biblical truth and guiding our engagement with complex ideas and cultural realities.

Seminary key commitments

Seminary students commit to cultivating character and living in a way that reflects Christ. This is part of what sets Bethel Seminary apart—a place where personal transformation and biblical formation go hand in hand.
