Our Network
The Work with Purpose Initiative of Bethel Seminary equips both current pastors and future pastors (Seminary students) to see that all work matters to God. To do this, we engage with partners from ministries throughout the nation, from the local Twin Cities church community, and from departments right across campus within Bethel University.
Ministry Partners
These key organizations produce thoughtful resources, host world-class local and national events, and share our mission of integrating faith, work, and economics.
