Students in sweatshirts relax and laugh together on the grass outside.

You’ll find connection, care, and purpose in Bethel’s Christ-centered community.

When students visit Bethel, they often say they feel something different. That difference is community—not just a feeling, but a shared way of life shaped by our faith, our commitment to one another, and our pursuit of truth, growth, and service. At Bethel, caring for our community and our key faith commitments are woven into everything we do.

What living in community looks like

Grow through shared values

Our Covenant for Life Together is a promise we make to one another—a commitment to live with integrity, compassion, and faith. It reflects how we choose to learn, grow, and worship together at Chapel and beyond.

Find support through every season

We’re committed to walking with students through every part of their journey. From academic help to career coaching and faith development, Bethel’s support system is designed to help you thrive.

Feel secure on campus 

Our Office of Safety and Security keeps campus safe through 24/7 patrols and emergency response systems. Safety is a shared responsibility, and we all play a role in caring for each other.

Understand your role as a student

The Student Handbook outlines policies and expectations that help us live well together. It’s an important resource for learning how to navigate life at Bethel.

Grow through shared commitments

Bethel’s Key Student Commitments express what it means to live out our faith together. Rooted in Christ and guided by our Covenant for Life Together, they call us to integrity, compassion, and purpose as we build a community where everyone can belong and thrive.
