Our unconventional approach to missionary training has worked effectively for over 60 years. Content in a classroom is important, but good content alone does not prepare effective missionaries. The top three characteristics that set effective missionaries apart from the rest of the pack are vibrant spirituality, they make disciples, and possess intercultural social skills.

History

Bethany Fellowship was founded by five families in 1945. They were all members of Bethany Chapel (now known as Bethany Church), which was founded in 1943. These families each entered into a deeper, more passionate relationship with Jesus and were seeking to give all they had to God.

Education

The Bachelor of Arts degrees are Bethany Global Universities most popular missionary training programs. Each program is a double major and half of the degree program is spent on campus while the other half overseas.

BGU’s MA programs are entirely online courses design for those who desire to enhance their intercultural effectiveness in their ministry.
