We're glad you're here!

 

Whether you've attended church your whole life, or never stepped foot in a church even once, Bethel is a safe place to bring your doubts, questions and curiosity, regardless of your beliefs or background. We invite you to come and take a look around.  We have wonderful programs for children, youth, and adults alike.  However, what you’ll find more than great programs is a community of people who truly desire to come together in the presence of God.  You’ll notice:

You matter to God and to Bethel!

 

Wondering what Bethel is like on the weekends? We've assembled answers to the most common questions. Read up to learn more about Bethel, and then come be a part of our worship gatherings!

 

Bethel is a "come as you are" church. Jeans or ties are equally welcomed.

 

We love kids here at Bethel! We have an abundance of Children's programs running throughout the year designed just for them. Kids in Children's Ministry programs learn about God's love for them every week in a vibrant way.

 

Children's Ministry opportunities are available during the Sunday School hour beginning at 9:15 and during the Sunday worship services, as well as during Wednesday night activities.

 

Children are always welcome in the worship services. As a matter of fact, we believe it is important for our kids to be with us at times in the main service.  One Sunday a month we have Family Worship Sunday where all of our kids (with the exception of nursery and preschool) join us in the main auditorium on Sunday morning.

 

Please see below for where your child's age group meets:

 

We have a passion for prayer at Bethel. There is almost always ministry time offered during or at the end of every service.  The altars are always available and the new prayer room is also available if you just want to be alone with God.

 

We see worship as the door that enters God’s presence.  The worship band seeks to lead us through that door each week.  Contemporary worship is the norm for Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights are a little more laid back.  There are times when timeless hymns are used to bridge the gap between heaven and earth.  For us, it isn’t as much about style as it is heart.

Offerings are given as an act of worship for attendees who consider Bethel their home.  At Bethel, we teach and believe in Biblical stewardship.  For new visitors, your presence is a gift to us. We want you to be blessed by the service without feeling any obligation to give.

 

It is our desire to conclude our service around noon.  However, we don’t like to set a time frame.  We do our best to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in every service so that we don’t rush through or unnecessarily prolong our service times.

If you are new to Bethel, we'd like to welcome you and give you a great parking space. First-time visitor parking is available on the west side of the main building. Handicapped parking is also available on each side of the main building.

 

Directional signs are located throughout the campus to help you find your destination; however, you can also refer to the color coded map to find the parking lot which is best suited for you.

 

Bethel is associated with the Assemblies of God.  It is a world-wide fellowship that was founded in 1914 as a missions organization whose purpose is to spread the message of Christ throughout the world.  For more information about the Assemblies of God, check out www.ag.org.
