School Description

Provided by Bethesda Christian University

In 1976, Bethesda Christian University (BCU) was founded on a Christian groundwork derived from Pentecostal Theology to equip future leaders with the professional skills needed to become leaders in world peace and world missions by building churches and Bible institutions around the world.

In the initial years of the 21st century and into the future, BCU's goal is to be a global center for Christian academic training that produces devoted Christian leaders and professionals in the Pentecostal movement and in the worship of God.

Bethesda Christian University's plan is to be a global center for Christian academic schools that train devoted Christian leaders and professionals in the Pentecostal movement and in worshipping God.

The Main Campus of Bethesda Christian University is located in Anaheim, Orange County, California, U.S.A. which enjoys warm weather throughout the year.

Disneyland is located in Anaheim, and many other famous places such as Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Venice Beach and Long Beach are in close proximity to the city. Moreover, LAX International Airport, Universal Studios and Knott's Berry Farm are nearby.
