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.

July Recap

Building Today for Generations Tomorrow

Because of your faithful prayers and generous giving, the Growing in Faith Campaign continues to make tremendous progress. Construction is underway, and together we are investing in spaces that will serve our congregation and community for generations to come.

Let’s Finish Strong Together

Many members are faithfully fulfilling their Growing in Faith commitments over the three-year pledge period, and we are grateful for every gift—regardless of its timing or amount.

For those who are in a position to do so, we invite you to prayerfully consider completing all or part of your remaining pledge by December 31, 2026.

Receiving additional pledge payments before further borrowing is needed can significantly reduce future interest expenses. If $1 million in outstanding pledges is fulfilled by the end of 2026, Bethel could save approximately:

  • $7,000 each month in interest costs
  • More than $84,000 each year

Those savings remain available for ministry instead of interest payments, allowing more resources to support worship, discipleship, children’s ministry, youth ministry, missions, and community outreach.

How You Can Help

  • Pray for our church, our leaders, and the construction team.
  • Continue fulfilling your pledge according to your commitment.
  • Consider completing your pledge early, if your circumstances allow, to help reduce borrowing costs and maximize ministry resources.

Thank You

Thank you for your continued faithfulness, generosity, and prayers. Every gift is making a lasting impact.

Together, we are building more than a building—we are creating a lasting legacy of faith where future generations will worship, learn, serve, and grow in Christ.

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”
Proverbs 16:3
