MISSIONS
At Bethel, we are committed to the expansion of the Kingdom of God in fulfillment of the words of Jesus to, "Go and make disciples". From supporting our local community, to partnering with missionaries and missions organizations both locally and globally, we believe that every believer can play a part in this calling. We invite you to partner with us as we personally go and as we support those who have been sent.
