Does one need to be a member of Bethlehem Baptist Church to attend Bethlehem College and Seminary?
One does not need to be a member to be admitted to, or to graduate from, any of Bethlehem College and Seminary’s programs. In general, Bethlehem Baptist Church encourages students who are members of Bethlehem, but leave to attend other colleges or seminaries, to become members of the church they are regularly attending. They are always welcome to join Bethlehem again if they return to Minneapolis. Likewise we encourage students attending Bethlehem College and Seminary to become members while they are here. The principle is: in general, it is best to be a full member of the church you are attending. We realize, however, there may be reasons why maintaining one’s membership in his or her home church is best, and we would support that.
