Friendly Greetings at Welcome Center

The first people you will meet after shaking hands with our greeters at the door. They can help make first day visits much easier.

Kids having a great day at Vacation Bible School

VBS is for kids about 4 years old thru grade 5. Lots of older kids and parents help church staff make this a memorable and meaningful experience.

Jacobs Ladder in western attire for an afternoon of cowboy music

Once a year, the Saturday evening service turns cowboy. We call it a Hoe Down. The praise band performs country and gospel classics, and the message has a western theme.

Hoe Down Chow Down

After the western service, what is more fitting than a barbecue meal? Barbecued chicken, beans, and salads, topped off with a classic dessert. Yum,Yum.

Welcome to Worship

Ushers meet you at the door and help find seats, if necessary. A smile and friendly hello set the tone for the Bethel family gathered for worship.

The Comfort Makers, our quilting group, show off their handiwork.

The comfort makers meet biweekly and make quilts that are then blessed in our services before being shipped to refugee support agencies.

Seniors' Christmas Luncheon

We have a very active group of seniors. They have monthly scheduled regular meetings, and most are active in other activities and/or choir as well. They provide a great support system for each other.

Members of the congregation regularly participate in trips abroad. These are usually lead by Pastor John. Favorites were the Holy Land and England. Next up is Scandinavia in the fall.

Feeding My Starving Children

Feed My Starving Children is one of many international relief activities Bethel participates in. In addition to local charities, we sponsor children in programs like One Hope and Compassion International. Frequent mission trips to visit the places our monies go demonstrate the value of the programs.

Online Worship

Services are broadcast via the internet to people whose jobs or family situations do not permit worshipping in person. Sources of streaming are listed at the church website.
