Our mission at Bethel Church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
In 2 Cor 3:8, Paul writes:
And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit. (NRSV)
Through what John Wesley called "the means of grace" we open ourselves to God's Spirit, and we co-labor with God to build his kingdom of love, peace, and justice upon the earth.
Our vision is to ignite and sustain a passionate spiritual relationship with Christ among all people!
Jesus said:
Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30 NRSV)
and
I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. (John 15:5 NRSV)
Through our relationship with Jesus Christ we strive to to embody his love which leads us to extend that love to all people.
The one great value we have at the core of our being is to love God with all that we have and love our neighbors as ourselves.
