Bethany College Campus

Step into a vibrant campus steeped in history and brimming with modern amenities. Our story began in the late nineteenth century with a single, four-story building that housed everything from classrooms and administrative offices to student and some faculty residences, dining facilities, and a breathtaking two-story chapel with a pipe organ. Today, our campus has blossomed into a dynamic hub of learning and activity, boasting six comfortable residence halls, ten academic and administrative buildings, a renowned regional art gallery, athletic facilities and playing fields, and much more.

Welcome Pavillion

Welcomes all to our campus.

Messiah Lutheran Church

Messiah’s doors opened in 1908 when the fledgling community determined that a rising generation of youth, (including the students of the newly founded Bethany College,) while mostly fluent in the language and customs of their Swedish immigrant ancestors, yearned to worship in their own idiom. Although not technically part of the College, Messiah and Bethany are very closely affiliated through the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
