Welcome to NTL Institute

NTL Institute's presence in Bethel, Maine, spans almost sixty years to NTL's founding in 1947. Nestled in the foothills of the White Mountains in western Maine, Bethel is a charming, hamlet-like enclave of about 2,500 inhabitants - a village of only a few streets in each direction.

The pastoral campus is home to NTL's Founders House which consists of a conference center and NTL's bookstore. NTL programs are also conducted at the nearby Bethel Inn and Conference Center and on the campus of Gould Academy.
