Our Ministries
By having both formal and informal ministries, the Bethel Church encourages our members to serve externally and internally. The only way we know to serve God is to serve others - both within and without the body. We have some formal ministries that allow us to serve locally and world-wide along with many informal ministries, primarily to serve our neighbors.
