With nearly 50 clubs and organizations, 14 varsity athletic teams, a variety of fine arts opportunities, forensics and numerous intramural sport options, you have multiple ways to get involved and create lifelong college memories. Opportunities are limited only by your imagination.
Expand Your Circle – Intentional Caring Community Bethel College’s caring community will challenge you, face-to-face, to excel academically, to think creatively and carefully and to live with integrity. At Bethel College, you’ll find the space and support you need to discover your dreams and embrace old truths.
Live It – Faith-based values

backgrounds other than Mennonite. Bethel College integrates faith and learning, empowering you to view questions and dilemmas from multiple perspectives

“The first couple of days as I walked by people, they smiled and waved and they had no idea who I was. At a bigger school like where I came from, I was just a face in the crowd. At Bethel, I’m a face that means something and that’s nice.”
