A college experience that equips you to live according to your values and mission.

  • An accredited, low- or no-debt university degree

  • Practical experience available every semester

  • Tools and structure to develop your God-given mission

  • One-on-one support and guidance

A degree alone won’t prepare you for life after college, but traditional college paths leave it up to you to get the resources you need to live your life on mission once you graduate. Many students also feel pressure to pick a degree that will perfectly prepare them for their vocation, worried that making the wrong choice will cause them to waste time and money.

We believe you shouldn’t be on your own to navigate the years after high school. You shouldn’t have to stress about making perfect choices in order to set you up for success after college. And your degree shouldn’t come with the worry of “Am I really ready?”

At BU@NMC, we provide a unique college experience with the best of two worlds - Bethel University’s academic excellence and the leadership culture and support of Nappanee Missionary Church. Our program gives you a low- or no-debt path to earning an accredited degree while also providing practical experience every semester, intentional leadership development to prepare you for a professional career, and robust spiritual guidance.

BU@NMC will equip you to discover your God-given mission and help you intentionally prepare yourself for life after graduation.

“BU@NMC has given me a space where I can earn a degree at an effective cost while also building close friendships."
