Stewarding God’s House.

Growing Our Mission.

As Bethel prepares to celebrate the retirement of our mortgage, we are stepping into a new season of stewardship. Built to Serve is a three-year initiative focused on addressing significant building needs while strengthening our shared mission.

Why Now?

Several major capital projects are approaching, including:

Roof replacement for the sanctuary and narthex
Skylight repairs
Mechanical and infrastructure updates

These needs go beyond what our Annual Fund can sustain. Addressing them now allows us to maintain safe, welcoming spaces where worship, learning, and community life can flourish.

A Two-Part Commitment  

Built to Serve supports:

Supporting the completion of a hospitality house for individuals in transition—a project Bethel helped begin in 2024 and continues to walk alongside. Scrolling images below were captured during that impactful mission trip.

Looking Ahead

Built to Serve will work in coordination with Bethel’s Fall Stewardship efforts. Our Annual Fund remains vital for ongoing ministry, while this initiative focuses specifically on capital needs and designated mission support.

We invite you to learn more, ask questions, and keep this initiative in your prayers as we move forward together.

Capital Needs

Roof| Boiler | Air Handling Unit (AHU)

The most urgent need is the sanctuary and narthex roof, which has reached a critical point and must be addressed to protect key worship and gathering spaces. A full roof replacement will follow in the coming years. Additional needs include mechanical system upgrades and other deferred maintenance.
