What to Expect Sunday Worship: Our church is for everyone and we invite you to join us. We gather in person and online to encounter the living God as a community – a time to restore our faith, to renew our hope, and to rekindle our love for God and others. Join us in worship for the whole family, and please come as you are! Every week expect to hear a Gospel-centered message, considering how we can deepen our relationship with Christ and better live out his love in our daily lives. If you missed a Sunday you can always listen to previous sermons, just head to our podcasts page. Our Mission & Vision What We Believe Worship Online With Us For the Kids: We pride ourselves on providing a fun and safe environment for our kids where they can learn about how much Jesus loves them and that his story can become their own. On Sunday mornings, please check in the back with your kids when you arrive. We invite families to sit together in worship for the first half of the service, which starts at 10 am. Halfway through the service, we'll invite parents to bring your kids downstairs for a focused time of children's ministry in a big group. *For any questions about what to expect before you visit, please email our Children’s Ministries Director, Selikke, at kids@discoverbethel.com , or call us at church during the week. Nursery: Our nursery is available for your infants and toddlers! After you check your kid(s) in at the registration desk, you can bring your kid(s) to the nursery downstairs to be with our volunteer team. Wiggle Room: Our Wiggle room is open to parents with small children who need to get "their wiggles out" while being close to their parents and the service can be listened to from that room. This room is located on the left side of the sanctuary next to our kitchen. Prayer and Connection: Two of our greatest desires as a church are (1) to be a church that prays and (2) to be a community that cares. We have people available throughout the service available to pray with you. You can also send requests for prayer online through our confidential prayer email . We also see worship as a time for connection and the building of relationships in the community. Stay as long as you can with us as worship. We will have coffee and refreshments set out for you.

This Week At Bethel May 30, 2025 This Sunday Church Family News Announcements Community News Calendar Bulletin Archive This Sunday This Sunday we continue our sermon series, Cross Through the Cliché , where we are reflecting on misunderstood sayings about faith from the Bible and culture. Along the way, we will access helpful tools for stepping into a deeper life with Jesus and moving past the cliché to embrace God’s heart for us through his word. Next, we will explore the phrase: “Just have faith.” While we want to encourage one another when life is difficult, how we do so matters greatly. What we discover as we follow Jesus in lives of discipleship is that the basis of being right with God does not come from how strong our faith is but in whom we have placed our faith in. The message this Sunday will focus on Mark 9:14-27, “Just Have Faith.” Our Sunday Offerings: BETHEL MINISTRIES AND MISSION : The minstries and programs of Bethel DYNAMIC YOUTH MINISTRIES CADETS: provides programs, curriculum, materials, and training designed to bring children and youth into a living, dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ. Through this organization, Bethel supports the work of Calvinist Cadet Corps youth ministry organization whose purpose is to provide a ministry program that will enable us to effectively share Christ’s love with boys from our church and community.

I love spending time with my family and friends and discovering fun, unique coffee spots around town. I also enjoy cooking and playing Uno with Alice. I'm honoured by the opportunity of being part of this community and serving your family. I pray that we keep building this ministry to reflect the heart of Jesus. I can't wait to meet you all!
