Transformation is coming.

As the world faces unprecedented challenges, we’re setting out to transform Christian higher education—because we need the leadership, service, and scholarship of committed Christ-followers now like never before. The launch of our Called to More campaign marks a significant opportunity to propel Bethel to new heights. Through the generosity and engagement of our donors, alumni, employees, parents, and students, we will create the future we want to see.

The Called to More campaign has already received gifts from more than 21,000 donors who have made generous commitments of $174.1 million to invest in the continued development of our students and campus spaces—and we believe God has more in store for us. By investing in three key areas—student affordability and access, facilities that inspire learning and opportunity, and innovation—we will extend our reach, expand our influence, and elevate our mission.
