DO YOU WANT

TO LIVE FOR

SOMETHING

THAT’S WORTH DYING FOR?

GOD HAS CALLED US TO JOIN WITH HIM IN PROCLAIMING

THE GOOD NEWS OF HIS KINGDOM TO THE NATIONS; TO BRING HOPE

TO THE LOST, HELP TO THOSE WHO ARE IN NEED AND LOVE TO THE

BROKEN.

OUR GOAL AT BETHANY COLLEGE OF MISSIONS IS TO PREPARE YOU TO

JOIN WITH GOD IN HIS MISSION TO MAKE HIS NAME GREAT.

THE 4 CORE ELEMENTS OF THE BCOM EXPERIENCE ARE:

SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION1

A t Bethany, we strive to provide an

environment that encourages spiritual

growth and transformation. We are convinced

that in order to be an effective missionary,

you must have a vibrant relationship with

God and be fully submitted to the work of

the Holy Spirit. Students experience one-on-

one discipleship, grow in their understanding

and practice of prayer and fasting and are

equipped to study and apply the Word of

God in every area of their lives.

Since being at BCOM my life has completely changes. I have been

making the conscious decision to surrender and let God take control of

every area of my life. Being a student here has helped me to understand

what it means to be fully consecrated to God.

Kenzie, BCOM student

“

A cademics are a pivotal element of the

BCOM experience. We are committed

to providing an exceptional academic

experience that lays a solid foundation for

effective and fruitful ministry. Students aren’t

just told what to believe, they are challenged

to know why they believe what they believe,

and are given the tools that they need to be

life-long learners in whatever context they

find themselves in beyond BCOM.

The professors truly care for the students’ lives. They always encourage

personal growth by telling us to go deeper outside the classroom into

the things they teach. They always tell us to look back at the Bible and

discover why we believe what we believe, instead of just letting us

believe everything that is being said.

ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE2

EXPERIENTIALLEARNING3

W e believe that the best learning

occurs when the teaching is built

around the opportunity for experience. Our

Global Internship program exemplifies this

principle. Global Internship is a 16-month

intercultural experience within the structure

of our Bachelor of Arts degree. Students live

overseas together in teams at one of our

Global Internship sites, engaging in another

culture, learning a foreign language, and

working together with local missionaries to

bring the Good News to a people group.

“ On Global Internship I learned how to be a learner; how to observe,

and how to be taught. Most importantly though, I learned how to love

people, and saw first-hand how desperate people need a Savior.

Natasha, BCOM student

T he community dynamic at Bethany

provides our students with an

opportunity to build life-long relationships,

while pursing God together in a prayer and

missions-focused environment. Our campus

is multi-generational; including students,

staff interns, families, missionaries and even

founding members of Bethany International.

Students live, study, and work together, all

with the goal of loving God and engaging

together in missions initiatives around the

world.

When I came to Bethany, I was excited to learn and grow in the Lord.

What I didn’t see coming was the incredible community. People were

genuinely interested in who I was and what the Lord had done in my

life. The discipleship and fellowship where have helped to reveal God’s

heart and His desires for His people.
