OUR VISION

Bethel Baptist Church exists to focus on and be changed by God through biblical corporate worship; to edify, disciple and build up its members in love; and to show Christ to others by proclaiming, illustrating and confirming the gospel.

WHAT IS BETHEL LIKE?

Bethel is a friendly welcoming group of believers with a blend of ages.  The Bible is our sole authority for faith and practice. We place an emphasis on solid Biblical teaching throughout our services.   Our worship music consists of a blend of old and new songs with a traditional feel.
