Bethel College opened in 1947 but traces its roots way back in 1893 when the founder of the Mennonite Brethren in Christ (MBC), Daniel Brenneman called for the establishment of a training institute. The MBC eventually became the United Missionary Church at about the same time that the college was established. From the original 94 students, total present enrollment is more than 2,000 including those enrolled in the two emerging extension centers of Bethel- the Elkhart Campus and the Nursing Program in Grace College.
