Meet new faculty and staff.

Bethany students talk about their MCC environmental learning tour in Appalachia.

One way Bethany contributes to the life of the church and the world is in developing leadership skills in young people. Bethany has strengthened its leadership development by implementing a process that will provide goals, teaching tools, and evaluation of skills for those in leadership roles. Select seniors will also be recognized at graduation for excelling in developing their leadership skills during high school.

Students at Bethany Christian Middle School are committed to be honest and trustworthy, accepting, respectful, and encouraging. Students, together with faculty, agreed that these characteristics should help define who a Bethany student is. Students and faculty are focusing on relationships this year as part of a new Ophelia Project initiative to help middle school youth build respectful and compassionate relationships.
