The Helm

Tour stop audio transcript

Welcome to Bethel University, a small Christian university located in Mishawaka, Indiana, just outside of South Bend. Our tour starts at the Helm, which represents the heart of understanding who we are as a campus and community, and it is used as a reminder to keep Christ at the Helm of our lives. Bethel's name comes from Genesis 28:17 which says, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God.” A Bethel University education gives you the added value of spiritual formation without compromising academic excellence. Explore our beautiful campus and learn more.

Chapel is one of the most impactful times for our campus community. We have chapel every Monday and Friday at 10 AM, with mid-week discipleship groups. Our discipleship groups are often led by students, including our most popular, Vespers, with student-led worship and students sharing their testimonies of spiritual growth with their peers. We encourage students to participate in our spiritual mentoring program, where they are matched with a faculty or staff mentor to walk alongside them. Our desire is to foster an environment through community that encourages, challenges and inspires students. That is why Bethel is a great place to start the next chapter of your story.

Living on campus is where you can meet lifelong friends and make new memories. It is a great step in understanding how to live away from home, plus you get to figure it out with others! Just like many other aspects of Bethel, community is deeply valued within each residence hall. Each dorm has activities and dorm Bible studies all planned by the RAs. This makes it easy to meet people and get involved. Residential students and commuters can participate in every aspect of campus life including campus activities and health and wellness services.
