As a broader leadership team, we want to understand and address how we can do better in the future by bringing in a third-party expert to review our governance, leadership structure, and culture. We want to ensure we have established clear accountability structures, prioritized the safety of all those engaging with Bethel, and upheld the standards that Scripture calls our leadership and culture to reflect.
We have engaged in ongoing conversations with our community—including those impacted by recent events, current and former students, staff, and trusted outside voices. We are establishing clear accountability structures that prioritize integrity and the safety of everyone engaging with Bethel, both inside and outside the organization. We seek to uphold the standards Scripture sets for our leadership and culture. As a result, we're committed to a continued journey of sober reflection and concrete action.
Bethel Church’s Community Guidelines and Safe Church process exist to continue the work of revival through supporting physical, emotional, and spiritual health within the Bethel community, and to provide a safe place if an unhealthy or unacceptable interaction or experience should take place.
