Spiritual Life and Chapel
Download a pdf of the Chapel Schedule.
Bethel University’s Spiritual Life is often referred to as the heartbeat of campus. Whether you are in chapel, the classroom, or the dorm, you’ll find opportunities to grow spiritually. Three times a week, students and staff gather together for chapel. With student-led worship and a variety of speakers, this weekly practice allows the Bethel community to engage different perspectives and experiences. Throughout the year, our Spiritual Life team puts on events to engage the campus in spiritual practices and disciplines. Read through the Bible in a weekend during Scripture 66, participate in prayer stations during the Collegiate Day of Prayer, or join the weekly alternative service, Vespers.
Most significantly, though, Bethel University is a community of discipleship. There is a vibrant mentoring program on campus, and staff, faculty, and students all reap the benefits of these relationships. We hope you’ll take part in this essential piece of the Bethel experience.
