Children's Christmas Play

The children presented their annual Christmas play last Sunday. What a moving night with our our shepherds, angels, wise men, Mary, and Joseph. And the scene would not be complete without a baby doll Jesus, donkey and sheep in the stable, as well as dogs and bunnies gathered around the manger.

Beautiful picture of Bethel

Thanks to Chasity Newton Pool for this beautiful picture of Bethel at sunrise.

Operation Christmas Child

Here are a few pics, taken from our trip to Charlotte, to pack boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

Baptisms of Matthew Bane and Alana Burton

On November 27, the Sunday after Thanksgiving, we were so thankful to God to be able to baptize Matthew Bane and Alana Burton! As we celebrate the Advent of Christ, the Light of the World, we also celebrate Jesus' light coming into these two lives.

We Hope You'll Worship With Us This Sunday!

Bethel Baptist Church is a loving community of believers in Jesus Christ.

We are "a place to belong" - meaning that everybody has a place here. All are welcome to find community at Bethel.

We are "a place to become" - meaning that, while God accepts us as we are, God also wants us to grow and develop into more than we are today. We are all works in progress.

Our worship style is blended - incorporating elements of traditional and contemporary music.

Our preaching is designed to inspire and educate believers, and to lead people to faith in Jesus Christ.

Our teaching is Christ-centered and Bible-based.

Our ministries extend to all generations, from infants to seniors. We have a healthy balance of generations at Bethel.

Our missions are incarnational - meaning that while giving to missionaries is a priority for us, we believe that every Christian is called to live out our faith among our neighbors daily, and to be missionaries wherever we are.
