OUR STORY
Our Story
Bethel Community Church has been in existence since 1899. For 126 years, we have experienced many blessings from God.
We want to invite you to our Sunday morning worship gathering at 10:15 a.m. You’ll immediately notice we are a multi-cultural, multi-generational church—from babies in the nursery to seniors in their eighties and nineties. We plan for people in every walk of life because everyone is valuable, made by God in his image.
We exist to proclaim the truth of Jesus and grow mature disciples for the glory of God. To do so, we GATHER on Sundays to worship God together and hear the truth of God’s ancient word that shows its relevance for all different peoples today. We seek to GROW together in Community Groups throughout the week in fellowship and prayer. Aiming to put our faith into PRACTICE, and GO into our community and the world with the good news of Jesus Christ.
God has given us an amazing church family who love, welcome, and care for one another and our community. We value the diversity of people as we make up one church, and one family in the body of Christ. Our prayer is that anyone who comes to Bethel will experience the welcome of Jesus Christ, hear the good news of God’s amazing grace, and find their place in the family of God.
