Bethel Ministry College (BMC) exists to provide individuals with the opportunity to grow and develop as a person while pursuing God's call on their life. Whether you want to be equipped for vocational ministry or simply spend a season exploring what God has for your life, BMC may be just right for you. Bethel Church has a team of amazing pastors who will mentor and teach you the ins and outs of ministry.
Why BMC?
Quality Education & Experience
Bethel Ministry College has partnered with Northwest University, a widely respected and accredited university among Christian colleges in the western United States. Through this partnership, students are taught by Northwest University professors via their online campus.
Students at BMC are able to follow their calling and create their own custom learning experience by choosing a Core Study and Ministry Practicum that fit your calling. Through ministry practicums, BMC students are able to gain live interactive training and experience through a focused area of ministry under one of the pastors and leaders of Bethel Church.
All Core Study degrees are fully accredited through Northwest University.
The Pacific Northwest
Right in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, Bethel Ministry College is conveniently located between Seattle and Portland. Students get to experience the opportunities that the PNW has to offer as well as be invested in by prominent leaders from around our region.
Affordable Tuition
Bethel Ministry College offers fully-accredited, two year and four year degrees at a fraction of the cost of a traditional university.
2026-27 tuition is $349 per credit plus a $1500/semester program fee and $87/semester technology fee.
*Additional fees may apply.
Who is BMC for?
Who Qualifies to be a Student? – Although designed for student-interns in their 20s, our program is a benefit for many types of potential students.
Recent High School Grads and Gap-Year Students – This is who the program was originally designed for and who BMC/NPP serves best.
Four-Year Students – Originally envisioned as primarily serving students pursuing a two-year AA degree, we have found a growing number of students pursuing a four-year degree through this program. (See below which four-year degrees are offered.)
FLEX Students (Adult Learners) – When first launched, the Northwest Partnership Program (NPP) received overwhelming interest from adults with college experience but no degree. We now call them “FLEX students” because we can flex with your family and your job while you pursue your degree. These FLEX students account for a large percentage of students a part of the NPP. FLEX students can earn practicum credits too.
