1986 – 2023
Women's basketball: Six NCCAA national championships, every one under head coach Jody Martinez: 2000, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2011 — the second-largest single-sport block in the university's ledger after track and field.
Track and field: Fifteen NCCAA team titles under the program of coach Tony Natali's era rows: seven men's (indoors 2009, 2015, 2018, 2019; outdoors 2009, 2018, 2019) and eight women's (indoors and outdoors 2010 and 2011, indoors 2015, outdoors 2019, 2021, 2022) — recomputed from the table's rows as 7 + 8 = 15. The NAIA individual champions include the diver Nick Bohm, who won the one-meter title in 2022 and both the one-meter and three-meter titles in 2023, and the golfer Shanna Page, the NAIA women's medalist of 2008.
Soccer: The men's program holds the university's fourth NAIA team title: on 5 December 2022, in Decatur, Alabama, Bethel beat Mobile 3–1 under coach Thiago Pinto. Its NCCAA title came in 2000.
The rest of the ledger at its true size: Baseball's three NCCAA titles came in 1986 and 1990 under Dick Patterson and in 2002 under Mike Hutcheon. Women's volleyball won five (1993, 1994, 1998, 2007, 2020); softball two (1995, 2007); men's tennis two (1999, 2000) and women's tennis two (2000, 2006); women's golf two (2021, 2022); and the rugby club's NSCRO Challenge Cup of 2017 stands in the table's "other" row as the forty-eighth title of the recomputed ledger. The Pilots play at the Wiekamp Athletic Center.
