Bethany University
Is a four-year, regionally accredited, coeducational institution of higher education that has been operated by the Northern California and Nevada District of the Assemblies of God since 1919. The mission of the University is to prepare men and women for Christian leadership, whether within the church or in the larger society. Historically, Bethany has been the leading source of ministers and lay leaders for the supporting denomination, but more than a third of the students enrolled come from other Pentecostal, charismatic, and evangelical traditions.
