Bethphage Mission has reached far beyond Dahl's original vision. For many years it has been a proud participant in the care of our nation's handicapped persons. This vote assured quality education for all children in Axtell area. The dream born in that action is now an excellent school and a member of the Fort Kearney Conference. The Axtell Community School is a central feature of our town.
Education is a vital link between past and future.
As a focal point of community wide events, it provides a visible sense of community identity. Summer Olympic Games in the small bore rifle competition. Because Axtell is primarily a farming community, the Axtell Co-op was organized in 1903 under the name Axtell Grain and Elevator Company. It has continued to serve the community through the years. Bethphage Mission, the school, and the co-op all play a prominent roll in Axtell's future.
