Welcome to Bethel Community Church! God's work at Bethel saw its
beginning in 1979 when a group of believers began meeting together in a
home. From a small beginnings came great things from God.
Bethel Community is not affiliated with any specific denomination. We
do, however, feel a kindred spirit with the larger body of Christ and
appreciate the numerous relationships we have with many outside our
local assembly.
Our church family is marked by a genuine love and warmth toward people,
a ready responsiveness to God's Word and a settled conviction that our
task is to win our area to Jesus Christ.
At Bethel Community Church we strongly adhere to the scriptural
principle of plurality of leadership. When Paul established churches he
appointed elders in every city. These "elders" were men charged with
leading, pastoring, and overseeing the direction and ministry of each
local congregation. Every church was led by a group of elders (Titus
1:5) never one. Through their love for one another, submission to one
another, and deliberation with one another the mind of Christ--the
"Senior Pastor" (I Peter 5:4 "Chief Shepherd") was to be discerned and
implemented in the church. This has served us well at Bethel and from
it, a spiritual unity has been maintained within our body for which we
praise God.
Every member at Bethel is a minister (Eph 4:11-16) and ministry
opportunities are abundant: elders, deacons, worship, Learning Center,
missions and outreach, library, music, discipleship, building and
grounds development and maintenance, and nursery.
We realize that God is anxious to add to our church family those coming
to know and love the Lord Jesus Christ and the people striving by the
Holy Spirit to live as Jesus lived. If that is your desire...it will be
easy to make room for one more!
