Bethel University Strategic Framework
Charting the course, together.
At Bethel University, we are centered on Jesus Christ. We develop whole leaders who own their faith, step into the world with boldness and confidence, and act with integrity as they answer God's call. Who students are and who they are becoming matters at Bethel. Keeping Jesus at the center, we will steer forward with confidence using the following strategic framework to guide our work, create a healthy and thriving organization, and expand our kingdom impact.
Life-Changing Student Experience
We will foster a community that provides students with a vibrant experience of faith formation, a deep sense of belonging, and an understanding of God’s call for their lives.
Transformative Academics
We will offer excellent, Christ-centered academic programs that transform students to meet the world’s most pressing needs.
Thriving Culture
We will be a Christ-centered learning community that fosters flourishing for all.
Operational Excellence
We will continuously build capacity and capability as we steward the resources God has given us so that Bethel flourishes for future generations.
