WORD FROM PASTOR TIM “I am very excited about this Transformed Campaign at Bethel. I want to encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to grow in the Word and in relationship with others at Bethel.” - Pastor Tim
ONLINE GROUPS With various demands on schedule and family responsibilities, we realize that it can be challenging sometimes to commit to an evening out. With available technology, we have a program that allows for a group meeting online. You can be a part of a group without having to leave your house. All you need is high-speed internet access and a web cam with audio capabilities. We are offering 3 online groups, one for men and two for women. Contact the group leader directly to let them know of your interest in being a part of an online group.
