It has been said, “We are not human beings on a spiritual journey; we are spiritual beings on a human journey. ” At Bethel College, we encourage students to view their “spiritual lives” not as a compartment of life, but as the essence of life. Worship extends from the chapel to the classroom to the dining commons to the athletic field to the surrounding community.

1. Just as we emphasize the integration of faith and learning at Bethel College, so we also stress the integration of faith and living.
2. This integration is encouraged through chapel services, campus groups, spiritual mentoring, and a variety of residential opportunities.
3. Chapel is often referred to as “the heartbeat of Bethel College.
4. ” Chapel services unite the Bethel community for a time of corporate worship through music and teaching.
5. Chapel programs include guest speakers, musical and dramatic groups, extended praise and worship times, faculty testimonies, as well as a variety of series.

1. Chapel services are held in the Everest-Rohrer Fine Arts/Chapel building and in the Octorium located in the Middleton Hall of Science every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:00 a.m.
2. Student-led Vespers services are held each Wednesday at 9 p.m.

in the Octorium. During the fall semester, a Spiritual Emphasis Week is held, offering services every morning and evening from Monday through Thursday. The spring semester includes both a World Christian Action Conference and a Deeper Life Conference. Developing as a spiritual being has always been rooted in community. We are a people in relationship with God and each other.
At Bethel College, spiritual mentoring is an integral part of our community. Each year we challenge our campus community of faculty, staff and students to enter into intentional, meaningful, iron sharpening iron relationships. Bethel has a number of organizations and opportunities for students to become involved in which equip and train students for a more meaningful spiritual life..
