Weather Update

As forecast, we are getting a significant snowstorm today, which will create very hazardous driving conditions. Regretfully, as a result we need to cancel all church related activities for Sunday. This is for the safety of everyone involved. Be on the lookout for a prerecorded video from Pastor Aaron Sunday with a word of encouragement.
 
Additionally, with the freezing temperatures expected to continue through Sunday, we are closing the church office on Monday, February 2. As a reminder most of the staff will be at the national gathering in Atlanta during the week.
 
Please stay safe during the storm, and continue to check on your neighbors in need.

Why This Matters

This project is about more than buildings, it’s about preparing Bethel for:

  • Stronger ministry to children and families
  • More welcoming and functional gathering spaces
  • Long-term impact in our community

How You Can Be Part of It

  • Pray for guidance and protection
  • Stay engaged with updates
  • Pledge if you’ve not already done so – work is about to start
  • Give faithfully to help reduce the need for borrowing

Moving Forward Together

We are seeing real momentum. Careful planning is turning into visible progress and every step is guided by faith and purpose.

Thank you for walking this journey with us.
