Student Life
Our Covenant Community
At Bethel, life together means more than living on the same campus. It means belonging to a Christ-centered community rooted in key faith commitments and a shared set of values where mutual support and our the covenant shape the way we live, learn, and grow. The Covenant for Life Together expresses our commitment to care for one another, grow as whole and holy persons, and pursue a life that honors God through truth, love, and service.
What it is
The Covenant of Life Together outlines how we seek to live faithfully together as followers of Jesus. It's rooted in our belief that community is strongest when guided by shared values and a collective desire to reflect Christ in all we do.
It’s shaped by four commitments
As a community, we commit to:
- Seek truth. We pursue truth with excellence, integrity, and humility—integrating faith and learning to serve others and advance God's purposes.
- Grow as whole and holy persons. We strive for transformation in every area of life, cultivating character that reflects Jesus and choosing wisdom over conformity.
- Live well in community. We honor our interdependence, extend mutual care and accountability, and resolve differences with grace and justice.
- Value life and steward God’s creation. We treat every person as an image bearer of God, pursue justice, care for the vulnerable, and steward our resources with purpose.
It’s for this season of life
The covenant is specific to your time at Bethel. It serves as a guide for how we live well together in a diverse, Christ-guided learning environment.
