Welcome to the home for all things BTS at Bethel University! Use this page to stay connected and updated on all your BTS news.
All affiliated with BU BTS are welcome here whether you are an alumni or just an interested prospective student! Feel free to use this place to connect with friends, and as a starting point for edifying and loving dialogue.
Our mission is to bring students into contact with the historical foundations of the Christian faith in the Old and New Testaments, and introduce the central doctrines of Christianity that have been formulated in the Church and have been expounded and debated by theologians past and present. We also aim to provide a forum in which the foundation and content of the student's faith can be examined. In addition, there are opportunities to understand the teachings of the most significant world religions and to experience the value of learning one or more of the languages (Greek and Hebrew) in which the Christian Scriptures were written.
The Department of Biblical and Theological Studies serves as a great springboard for students to go into seminary or other graduate studies in fields related to biblical and theological studies, while also giving students the tools that they need for service both within and outside the church. Graduates of the BTS department have gone on to careers in ministry, teaching, non-profit and NGO work, law, business, and linguistic analysis, to name only a few.
