You belong at Bethel—and getting involved is one of the best ways to build connections and feel at home.

Campus life at Bethel is vibrant and deeply connected. Through clubs, events, and creative experiences, you’ll find ways to build friendships, discover shared passions, and grow in purpose—all while having fun. Here, belonging isn’t just a feeling—it’s something you live out by showing up, joining in, and shaping campus life with others.
