Student Life
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church believes that the reason we exist is to glorify God and to enjoy the Lord forever. Glorifying our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is not just a task that should be restricted to one area of our lives. At Bethel University, we strive to help students obtain their educational, religious, physical, and social goals in a Christian environment.
The friendships you form in college often last for a lifetime. In this setting, you will have an opportunity to meet other Christian students from all over the world. Please come explore the possibilities that the Lord may be calling you to at Bethel University. Then together let us boldly go into the future glorifying our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as educated and faithful disciples. http://www.bethelu.edu/life_on_campus/christian_life/

International Student Testimonials
Bethel University is a school where people come from many places around the world to merge, live in harmony, and build a strong legacy. The special aspect about it is that though students may have different cultural identities, and customs, that still does not keep them from mingling and living in a loving atmosphere.
-Alioune, SenegalI love the learning environment, the multicultural atmosphere, and the way the teachers connect with the students. McKenzie is a small city but an amazing place where young people can come and receive one of the best educations in the USA.
