Bethany Community
Forming in the spirit of radical hospitality and intentional rest
In their own words
Just as Bethany was a restorative resting space for Jesus, Bethany Community is an inclusive community of Catholics and Christians who pray together and share meals regularly. Our main focus is hospitality.
Logistics
The Bethany Community is in a 3-bedroom, 1 bathroom dormitory-style apartment in a residential community located about 5 miles from Candler. There can be up to 3 members in Bethany Community. Applicants should be aware that while there is public transportation within walking distance (10 minute walk to the nearest bus stop and 20 minute walk to the nearest Emory shuttle stop), we advise that you have personal transportation and a parking pass. Some residents choose to carpool or split costs for ride shares, but this varies from community to community. Drive time without traffic is about 20 minutes.
The total rent is $1,749 monthly (including utilities). Per room rent is $584.
Rental rates are not set by Candler and therefore all rental amounts are subject to change based on the decision of the property owner. Per room rates are subject to change based on the number of students in the house and the relative size of individual rooms.

A Safe Place to Land
“We’ve been able to cultivate a space that’s very warm and welcoming and really does feel like home. It’s like a sanctuary from the outside world, from school. I honestly couldn’t have made it through these three years without my community.”
– Jackie Rojas, MDiv ’26
