ministries
God’s Word says we are designed for community. At Bethel, we want to create opportunities for people to be known and to know others..
Give
Giving financially is a personal way to worship. It’s convenient, immediate, and most importantly, SECURE.
How You can Help locally during covid-19
There are many ways to help as the Holy Spirit leads and as we are sensitive to our physical circumstances.
Be wise: if you feel ill or have been exposed to anyone who has tested positive, please stay home.
Be model citizens and respect the advice of our government and health officials.
This is a chance for the church to be a beautiful picture of Christ and look outwards to help and love our community!
Bethel Mask Drive
Bethel strives to be a community of believers that loves our neighbors well. In an effort to do this practically, we will be starting a mask collection!
If you have extra fabric/ elastic or a little extra time to make masks, please email Betsy Roe at elizabethcroe@gmail.com. As the masks come in, members will be able to pick them up and distribute to neighbors, medical clinics, mailmen, grocery store staff, etc.
five ways you can help
1. Love Your Neighbor Cards
Below you can click the link to download printable cards you can give to your neighbors. On each card your neighbor can check-off ways they may need help during this time.
This is a great and tangible way to love on those around us! If you have children, encourage them to write a note to go with the card to your neighbor or draw a fun picture!

5. path
PATH exists to bridge the gap in our community between kind and generous people with abundant resources and our neighbors who are in need. Volunteering is a life-changing way to help! PATH serves 500 families a week. Between additional food purchases to stock the pantry and gift card distribution, they will need $7,500 per week for at least the next 4-6 weeks.
They also need volunteers to help with food distribution. Click here for more volunteer information.
