Convictions that shape your year
God’s presence, identity as sons and daughters, revival culture, truth and activation, community, excellence, and sending shape both what we learn and how we live.
A culture you live every day.
Worship and teaching
The atmosphere of the school is built around the presence of God, with worship as a primary expression. Teaching from BSSM and Bethel leaders connects Scripture and Kingdom values with the way you live.
Revival Groups and pastoral community
Students journey through the year in a consistent Revival Group led by a Revival Group Pastor. Groups meet weekly to build community, discuss and impart core values, and activate students in personal revival. Small groups create further space for relationships and growth.
International cultures
Students from many nations bring their cultures, perspectives, and stories into school life. Learning, worshiping, and celebrating together are part of the experience of belonging to a global family.
Life at Bethel Church
On-campus school brings you into the life and community of Bethel Church through services, gatherings, and opportunities to serve. What you learn is lived out in relationship with other believers.
Activation, serving, and missions
Put your faith into practice through prayer, ministry training, serving, and outreach. Mission opportunities carry the vision beyond the classroom into communities and nations. Requirements, arrangements, and additional costs depend on your school year.
