Service Learning Vision

Bethel is committed to providing a learning opportunity through a SL program that motivates students in exploring solutions to problems and in understanding their distinctive roles and responsibilities in enacting social transformation, spiritual growth, and community well-being as future leaders. The healthy seed of enthusiasm toward SL at Bethel will be nurtured, spread and replicated throughout the student body, faculty and administration as Christians and citizens to serve and to be served by the global community.

Formation: A change in us as individuals to obey more closely as Christians and our commitment to service and that we will see in ourselves a deeper understanding and maturity.

Reformation: A change in our community which encourages us all to embrace a lifestyle of service and to share and build upon the intellectual fruits of service.

Transformation: Bethel College will become known as a place that is committed to service and accomplishes SL with such excellence that we are a powerful and winsome "light to the world" around us.
