Greetings in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!  Welcome to this webpage.  From here we'd like to invite you to our worship.  Next, we'd encourage you to participate in our fellowship.  Then, we'd love to have you join us in ministry.  And, finally, we'd urge you to, with us, join into a deeper walk with God through Jesus Christ.  It may seem presumptuous to be reaching out if this is your only contact with our congregation, but I'm convinced that the message and mission we share is all important to you and your future.  God is calling all of us to be part of God's saving plan, and we believe this can best be accomplished through the gathered community of Christians that professes "faith in Jesus Christ, the authority of Holy Scripture, and the priesthood of all believers."

Bethany is a congregation that offers worship, learning, witness, and serving.  We don't claim to have all the answers, but struggle together to grow and deepen our faith.  All of us experience joys and sorrows in life, but we have come to understand our belief in the Christian message to be source of comfort, understanding, and hope.  We'd be honored and pleased to have you join us in that journey, asking the question:  what is God's will for me, and for us, in this time and place?  Check us out on Sunday morning, give me a call anytime, or let us know if you have a need.  We think it will be one of the best decisions you will make.  And, thanks for visiting our webpage.
