Stained Glass Window Installed in Bethel University’s New Chapel
From the Mar 4, 2025 e-Edition
McKENZIE — Bethel University’s campus is expanding with a new 1,058-seat chapel.
The chapel will be accessible through Bethel Court and/or the student center. The existing parking lot will serve the chapel facility.
The university’s new chapel was part of the original campus expansion plans. Lashlee-Rich, Inc. of Humboldt is the general contractor for construction of the facility.
Once the chapel is ready, it will serve as a center point for Bethel’s campus. Currently, the university uses the auditorium at the Dickey Fine Arts Building or the gymnasium at Crisp Arena for events such as convocation.
Construction continues on the chapel.
