SEMINARY IS OLDEST PART EDWIN OMARK, Th.B. B A.. B.D., M.A. Dean of the Seminary, Pastoral Functions, Theory of Preaching, Pastoral Counseling Bethel seminary really began in 1871 in Chicago, and it was moved to its present location in 1914. It was established because of a sense of need for preparation, and it continues to grow because the needs of missionary and pastoral work are so exacting that men must be carefully trained spiritually, mentally, and practically.
