Welcome to Bethel
Bethel is a place where EVERYONE'S WELCOME because one of the things we’ve learned is that NOBODY'S PERFECT, and with Jesus, we believe that ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE.
Welcome
No matter where you’ve been or what you believe, you’re welcome here. Bethel meets every Sunday for services that clearly communicate the hope found through Jesus Christ. We use engaging music, compelling videos, straightforward teaching, and many other elements to help people connect with a God who is incredibly passionate about you and your story. We hope you feel right at home here.
People helping people find and follow Jesus!

What We Believe
About God
There is one living, sovereign God who eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Rev. 1:8, Is. 43:10-11, Deut. 6:4, Matt. 28:19)
Jesus was sent by the Father to live on earth; he was fully God and fully human, yet had no sin. Jesus willingly laid down his life, and after three days rose from the grave. In doing this, Jesus fulfilled the payment for the world’s debt of sin.
(Luke 1:31, 35, 1 Cor. 15:3, 2 Cor. 5:21)
The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father and Son to convict the world of sin and to empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. He lives in every believer and is a constant helper, teacher, and guide.
(John 14:16-17)
About People
God created people in his image, and everyone matters to God.
(Gen 1:26-27, Gen. 5:1-2)
All people are sinners and need God’s forgiveness. (Romans 3:23)
Those who confess and turn from their sin, trusting in Jesus Christ, will be saved by grace and become children of God, with the promise of eternal life.
(John 3:16-17, Gal. 3:26)
About the Church, the Bible, & Christ's Return
Jesus Christ is the head of the church and all believing people are members.
(Eph. 4:15-16)
The Bible is the inspired word of God and is the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
Jesus Christ will return and there will be a final judgment. (Matt. 24:3, 37)
