Ministries

Education: Classes for cradle-roll through adult are taught age appropriate Bible- based lessons. Curriculum for adolescent classes has been approved by the elders of the Bethel congregation.

Youth Program: Jesus emphasized children in Matthew 18:1-6. We cannot allow the evil influences of the world to pull our young people away from the church and from God. At Bethel, we are determined not to let this happen. We love our young people and we are proud of them. We have a program that provides our youth a place for friendship and togetherness, as well as opportunities for growth in Christian faith and a closer walk with God is what we seek to implement.

Numerous opportunities are provided to help our youth enjoy each other, and grow in faith and fellowship. These include Challenge Youth Conference, mission trips, Camp Ney-A-Ti, community help projects, monthly devos, and regular area-wides.

Missions: Jesus gave the “great commission” in Matthew 28:19-20. The apostle Paul is a good example of someone following the Lord’s command. Paul did this by going on mission trips to evangelize (Acts 13:2-3), and to strengthen new and/or weak congregations (Acts 15:36), and he was involved in relief efforts for those in need (Acts 11:29-30). At Bethel we try to follow the example Paul left us in these three areas:

Evangelizing: Bethel supports and works with missionary efforts to take God’s word to people who have never heard it; in the Congo, Guyana, Nigeria, Philippines, Saipan and surrounding Pacific Islands, Thailand and Zimbabwe.
Edifying: We also work to strengthen small churches in places where the work is not easy; Australia, France, Romania, Switzerland, and some places in the United States. We support periodicals and radio and television efforts as well.
Benevolence: Bethel gives liberally to help those in need, from individuals, to orphan homes, to disaster relief efforts, on a worldwide basis.
