Bethel Grove is a place where campus and community meet. Rather than duplicating fellowship and Bible study opportunities that are on-campus groups, or providing services available from off-campus resources, Bethel Grove seeks to integrate students into the life of the local church, and community.
On Sunday mornings, bus transportation is available from both Cornell and Ithaca College for students needing a ride to church. Between the two services, a light breakfast of bagels, juice, coffee and tea is provided for students in the kitchen on the lower level of the church building.
A list of Christian faculty and staff contacts is available on-line and at the Welcome Desk. Students who choose to minister as well as be ministered to, can find many opportunities to serve others in this cross-cultural and intergenerational environment. Both student and church are blessed by the relationships formed here. |
