Faces of our Faith: Bold and Untold Stories (Summer Worship Series)

June 6th through August 23rd, 2026

There are many heroes of the faith, people we admire and wish to be. However, there are even more ordinary people of faith – those doing what they can with what they have to make a difference. This summer, we’ll dig into the bold and untold stories of those often overlooked in our Biblical narratives, hoping these characters remind us that we all play a role in shaping God’s story of redemption and grace.  

Have you heard about the guy who was literally bored to death by a long sermon? (Don’t  worry—not at Bethel!) His name was Eutychus, and yes, it’s in the Bible. Have you met Queen Vashti, or Shadrach, or Philemon? You’ll meet them—and many others—this summer. 

To go deeper, request a Faces of Our Faith summer journal, filled with simple reflections, visuals, and prompts for all 16 characters. It’s designed for you to use at home, around the table, or wherever summer takes you—so you can stay connected even when you’re away. And don’t miss the community art project growing in our shared space all season long. Add your own “face of faith”—a biblical character who speaks to you, or someone in your life who has shaped your faith journey. Because this story? It’s still being written. And you are part of it.
