One of the greatest advantages of living in a college community is the residual amenities and services you get.
If entertainment is what you’re looking for, don’t forget about all the great opportunities we provide.
We have great sports action! In the fall, you can enjoy our newly built football stadium, tennis courts and soccer complex as you cheer on the football, tennis, and soccer teams. During the winter months there’s Wildcat basketball and volleyball, and spring brings exciting baseball and softball action.
We also offer cultural opportunities. Catch a Bethel theatrical production, a pop concert, or performances by Renaissance, the Performing Arts Experience, and a number of other musical and vocal talent groups on campus. Many of these events are free and open to the public. Check out upcoming Bethel events.

Bethel offers facilities and catering services to anyone either on Bethel’s campus or in the surrounding community who is planning a special event. We can entertain parties from 15 to 130 people on campus in our Bryson and Oasis Rooms in the Marrs-Stockton Student Center. We can also entertain parties at other locations away from Bethel’s campus.

Call Glenda Cary, food services director, at 731-697-0481 to discuss menu selections and prices.

Gaines Pool, our indoor, Junior Olympic-size swimming pool is open to the public during scheduled hours, and you can come or bring your entire family (there are on-duty lifeguards) for a nominal fee. Gaines Pool, which is located on the north side of campus in front of Baker Field House, is also available for rent for birthday and other special parties.

Burroughs Learning Center is Bethel’s library, however, community members are welcome to take advantage of this resource.

Bethel’s Bookstore is open to the community, and you are more than welcome to stop in and make purchases! The store consistently stocks Bethel items that reflect the latest clothing and fashion trends, and pricing is competitive with that of other retail shops in the area.

Starbucks Coffee! Yes, we have it available to our students and to the public in The Daily Grind, our campus coffeehouse, located in the Marrs-Stockton Student Center across from Wildcat Baseball field.
