Bethel Campus Update

Students’ lives have been changed in many ways during 2020. Their last school year ended abruptly. Summer plans were destroyed. Time with families was exceedingly high. They are far more acquainted with online video options than ever before. And this is how they are coming into the school year, with everything changed. Hallways are less busy and more scattered. Classes are a mixture of online or in person. Physical separation is enforced on them everywhere. Activities are canceled; sports seasons are postponed; everything has changed. And yet our team at Bethel has kept our mission the same.

In March, the COVID-19 pandemic turned our world upside down. Every area of our lives changed, perhaps especially the college campus. With almost no warning, students were sent home for the rest of the school year. Classes, group projects, Bible studies, and even ministry went virtual. Nothing felt normal or right as all of us scrambled to find our footing in an upside-down world.

The year 2020 has been difficult for all of us. How should we, as Christians, respond to the increasing hostility of our country? As a Christian—especially as a young Christian—it can feel overwhelming to try to navigate this polarizing cultural moment. In our experience, young adults tend to struggle with nuance as they look at life in a very rigid manner. But God is faithful to his children, regardless of maturity or wisdom, and he often uses what was intended for harm in an upside-down way. Because of this, I am more excited than I ever have been to be on staff with Campus Outreach in this season.
