Welcome |
Worship |
 Welcome
to Bethel's website! We hope that you find what you are looking for in
these pages.
And you would be just as welcome at Bethel for worship on Saturdays or
Sundays and for programs all week long.
Bethel is a large church with the heart of a small church. People enjoy
the opportunity to come together for worship, learning, and fellowship.
The congregation is especially committed to serving others--locally,
regionally, and internationally. There are many Bible studies offered
each week, and our children's and youth programs are active.
If you are looking for a church home, we invite you to consider Bethel.
In 2004 we dedicated a new sanctuary and offer plenty of room for
visitors. Ultimately our goal is to bring the good news of Jesus Christ
to as many people as possible. You are welcome to join in that mission
with us!

Available: Electronic Giving!
Bethel is pleased to announce a convenient new way to make your regular
offerings. With our new electronic giving program, you can easily setup
a recurring giving schedule or make one-time contributions.
We encourage you to set up a schedule of recurring contributions. It’s
convenient for you and provides much-needed consistency for our church.
If you are currently giving on a weekly basis, you will no longer need
to write out 52 checks a year or prepare 52 envelopes. Even when travel,
illness or other circumstances prevent you from attending services, our
church will continue to receive your contributions on an uninterrupted
basis.
