Welcome. I’m glad you found us.

We are Bethel—a house of worship, a family of believers and a place of growth.

We invite you to worship with us. This is the best way to get to know what’s really important to us. Although our members come from many different backgrounds, we are bound by a common commitment to glorify God; especially as we gather every Sunday to hear God’s word and to adore him with songs and prayers.

We are a church family that loves and believes in the good news of Jesus Christ, who came to save sinners through his death and resurrection. We never tire of hearing this message.

We are committed to growth. So we encourage one another through prayer, service, fellowship, love and the gifts of the Spirit. And we also seek to help our neighbors and friends by loving them, with our words and our actions.

Our website contains plenty of information so that you can get a sense of our church: what we believe and what we’re trying to do. But to find out who we really are, you’ll just have to come and see.

I hope you will.

Yes, we require all worshippers age 2 or older to wear a face mask over their nose and mouth while in the building, and request that face masks be worn while on church property.

We invite you to come as you are. Although members of our church dress in a variety of ways, many dress formally. We do not judge one another by appearances as each one of us seeks to honor the holy privilege of worshiping in the presence of the living God.

Because we wish to maintain appropriate social distancing, an usher will assist you in finding a seat.

For worship, we seek ten (10) feet between family units. Ushers will help you with your seating. At other times, we ask that you maintain six (6) feet between family units.

Sunday morning services start at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m., and Sunday School for all ages starts at 10:00 a.m. Sunday Evening Service begins at 5:30 p.m.; though this service has been on temporary hold due to the pandemic, it is scheduled to resume on Sunday, March 14, 2021.

Yes. We ask that you register on our home page to reserve a seat for our Sunday morning services. The services do fill up most Sundays, so plan to arrive ten to fifteen minutes early to find a seat and prepare for worship. Please note that in order to maintain appropriate social distancing, worshippers are seated in our sanctuary and four overflow rooms. The worship service is livestreamed to the overflow rooms.

Pre-pandemic, Bethel provided a nursery during worship services and Sunday School. However, no nursery is currently offered.

We have Sunday School classes for all ages beginning at 10:00 am until 10:30 am. An usher, or any member, can help you find the right class.

Most people would probably refer to our worship style as “traditional” because we sing hymns and Psalms. We think of our worship as historically connected as the flow of the worship is based upon the Genevan order, which is a long-standing Reformed service with the reading and preaching of Scripture, prayers, and lots of singing. The Lord’s Supper is held the first Sunday of the month in the morning service and the third Sunday of the month in the evening service.

We welcome children to stay for the entire service from as young an age as practical. We ask that parents consider the child and whether the people seated around them will be able to worship without distraction.

We invite all Christians to participate in the Lord’s Supper who have been baptized, confessed their faith in Jesus Christ and are members in good standing of a church that preaches the Gospel. We believe that Christ gave the Lord’s Supper as a means of nurturing and strengthening his church through the presence of his Holy Spirit.

We would love for you to join us for worship.  Please contact Linda by Friday at 630.665.5577 to arrange a ride for Sunday worship.
