Introduction

Our Mission

Bethel University, affiliated with the Missionary Church, is a Christian community of learners dedicated to building lives of commitment for leadership in the church and the world. Bethel provides liberating academic and co-curricular programs to challenge the mind, enlarge the vision and equip the whole person for lifelong service.

Our Heritage and Community Ethos

Bethel University, founded in 1947 as a Christian liberal arts university by the Missionary Church, a denomination with roots in both the Mennonite and Methodist traditions, is a study of God’s blessing coupled with visionary leadership and effective management. Throughout its early history Bethel was a relatively small residential university with enrollment between 400 and 500 hundred students. In the 1990’s, Bethel University experienced a period of rapid enrollment growth, development of new academic programs and expansion of the university’s physical campus.

At the undergraduate level, Bethel offers majors in the liberal arts and sciences as well as professional programs in the fields of education, business, nursing and pastoral ministry. In addition, Bethel offers the following degrees at the Master’s level: Business Administration (M.B.A.), Education (M.A.T., M.Ed.), Ministry (M.Min.), Theological Studies (M.A.T.S.), Nursing (M.S.N.), and Counseling (M.A.C.).

Bethel is a university of deep Christian commitment. We believe that Christian education is more than teaching theology based on biblical truths; it is teaching students how to apply those truths and values in their day-to-day lives. Consistent with the university’s strong evangelical emphasis, co-curricular programming includes a broad variety of international ministry trips and local community service opportunities. In addition, Bethel offers study abroad programs within the formal curriculum.

Our Educational Philosophy

Bethel University is an evangelical Christian university affiliated with the Missionary Church. The university affirms its commitment to provide liberating programs, while holding to its Christian responsibility to be a witness and participant in the contemporary world. As a Christian university, we accept the person of Jesus Christ and His Gospel as normative for the values we seek to understand, live and communicate.

To these ends, and consistent with our mission to challenge the mind, enlarge the vision and equip the whole person for lifelong service, we desire that each Bethel graduate should:

Challenge their mind through:
1. An awareness of the accumulating body of knowledge as an incentive for study and research;
2. The ability to think analytically and critically, to appreciate the thinking and culture of others, and to communicate effectively and creatively;
3. Competence through acquired understanding and skills considered fundamental to certain professions or areas of specialization.
Enlarge their vision by:
1. A heart of compassion for people from differing religious, racial, ethnic and economic contexts while recognizing our world citizenship;
2. An appreciation of God's creation and of humanity's cultural achievements in the arts and sciences as an outgrowth of increased understanding;
Be equipped as a whole person by:
1. Social and civic attitudes which lead to responsible participation in human relationships and stewardship of the created order;
2. An understanding of the factors in the physical, mental and spiritual development of one's own personal growth;

We propose to accomplish this mission by: (Letters correspond to categories above)

Creating quality teaching-learning experiences which consist of studies in common areas of learning, together with studies which develop knowledge and skill in one or more particular curricula; (A)
Fostering a spirit of scholarship, inquiry and independent study which provides stimulus and a foundation for a life of learning; (A)
Offering experiences beyond the classroom which contribute to the development of the broadly educated individual and the competent professional; (B)
Encouraging all members within the university community to develop personal relationships that foster and sustain growth in spiritual, intellectual, physical and social dimensions, as well as in professional competence; (C)
Striving to prepare students to serve the Church, the community and the society at large; (C)
Challenging everyone within the Bethel University community to pursue a life of total Christian commitment. (A,B,C)

The Bethel Vision and Priorities

The mission of Bethel University is to be a community of learners building lives of commitment for leadership in the Church and world. Bethel's liberating academic programs challenge the mind, enlarge the vision, and equip the whole person for lifelong service.

In Spring 2018, Bethel launched its GROW Agenda 2018-2022, focused on opening new doors to Bethel for future students. The value behind this focus is, we can't influence students we don't have. Throughout Fall and Winter 2017, a multi-disciplinary research and planning team produced four initiatives of highest return, which was later unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees in early 2018 and endorsed to very high levels by faculty, staff, and administrators.

The primary foci are: (1) adding several new sports teams and an athletic facility, (2) adopting new recruitment methodologies and external partners in digital marketing and Web development, (3) double the number of online-format programs from 11 to 22, and (4) a variety of small, niche enrollment projects (e.g. a debt-free path through Bethel for the poorest students, launching a Computer Science major in Fall 2019, launching a corporate partnership to provide MA in Counseling degrees in house, etc.). Simultaneously, to support a 60% growth in Admissions visitors over the past three years, a Welcome Center facility is already funded.

Bethel Living

Our students share the experience of a university program aimed at development in the spiritual, intellectual, physical, social/psychological and professional competence areas.

These activities are designed with students in mind so they may be assisted in developing a sense of purpose, a greater degree of autonomy and a satisfying network of relationships with other people. See the student handbook for a listing of clubs and groups.

On Standards

Bethel University is a Christian institution dedicated to the education of the whole person. We are committed to the integration of faith, learning and living as an ongoing process. As people gathered for the development of our members and for the purpose of extending Christ’s kingdom in the world, Bethel strives to assist students in developing into mature Christian men and women who are equipped to meet all of life’s challenges and opportunities.

Members of the Bethel community voluntarily agree to live in accordance with the values, expectations, and goals of the university as expressed in the Community Life Covenant and Student Handbook. If the conduct of any member of the university community is found to be in violation of these standards or to be detrimental to one’s own personal development or to that of other members of the community, we seek to aid that person. However, if that member shows serious or continued violation of responsibility, the university may dismiss them from the community.

Several Midweek Small Group offerings meet on Wednesdays at 10 a.m., while others take place throughout the week at various times and locations.

Vespers are conducted each Wednesday evening on the campus under the direction of the Spiritual Life Committee of the Student Council. Both students and faculty share in the fellowship of the Vespers services.

Sunday Worship is conducted both morning and evening in numerous churches in the South Bend/Mishawaka area. Students are expected to attend and participate in the services and activities of a local church on a regular basis.

Spiritual Emphasis Services are held each fall. During this period a guest speaker ministers at the chapel hour and in specially scheduled evening services.
