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!

Pastor Norman W. Wahl
