“For Change, We Serve.”
Bethel Agricultural Fellowship
Bethel is a Hebrew noun couplet, which means “House of God” or the “Dwelling place of God”. Agricultural Fellowship signifies the humble beginning of the society when all the workers labored in fellowship in the cultivable land which was the source for the people of the society. Even now living in society is governed by the norm of Fellowship and a simple lifestyle.
LOCATION
Bethel campus is located about 40 kilometers away from Salem. To reach, you have to take the deviation from the Salem-Dharmapuri Highway in a place called Theevatipatti. It is 8 kilometers from there to Bethel.
Bethel campus lies pretty close to the foothill of Yercaud part of the beautiful Shervaroyan hills.
Bethel is privileged with a beautiful Chapel named “Christ the Servant King”. It is located almost at the center of the campus. The campus’s life begins with the devotion in the Chapel at 6.30 a.m on all days except on Saturdays.
The campus landscape has remarkable settings, Santhya (evening prayer time), an elevated plain with a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding. The air is fresh with fragrance. The signing of birds and whistling of the gentle breeze is audible at the backdrop of serene silence. This is an ideal place to be alone with God.
Calvary santhya is a small rock hill with a huge cross upon it. A portion of the hillock provides a perfect platform to build a gallery around and serves as an amphitheater. This calm and quite place provides a sense of protection under the wings of God Almighty where you feel safe and secure.
