A Word from the Provost

Faculty and administration in all the regions Bethel Seminary serves commit themselves to providing every student with a
compelling theological worldview, a global understanding of diverse cultures, and an integrative model of education.

Dear Prospective Student:

"Greetings!

Choosing a seminary will change the course of your life!

If you choose Bethel Seminary, you can expect to:

Connect the dots. Faculty and staff are committed to build bridges, describe pathways, overcome barriers, and connect the truths of Bible, history, and theology with the disciplines that encourage spiritual and personal formation, and integrate these with the practice of transformational leadership.
Clarify how gifts, personality, and calling direct your future.
Find a degree program well suited to your calling. Bethel Seminary now offers eight different master of arts degrees, the master of divinity degree, and the doctor of ministry degree with multiple tracks in several of these programs. In addition there are certificate programs that meet special needs.
Understand how to relate to cultures and ethnic groups other than your own.
Graduate with a sense of being well prepared academically (for post-graduate work if you choose) while deepening your spiritual life and sharpening your ministry capacities.

Explore Bethel Seminary—throughout the United States in our multiple teaching locations, or through our leading distributed learning system, InMinistry, wherever you live. You can expect to receive the same high standard of excellence in any location or delivery system.

May God’s guidance be clear as you pursue His leading,

Leland V. Eliason
Executive Director and Provost
