January Sermon Series: The Uncommon Family
Bethel has a long-standing annual tradition of biblically examining matters pertaining to the family, marriage, and parenting. We call it "Family Month".
In recent years, the needs of the modern family have expanded. From blended-family dynamics to single-parenting and alternative sexuality preferences — God’s people need to be equipped to address now-common cultural matters that were once uncommon.
Join us for Family Month starting January 8 as we biblically examine these subjects and more in “The Uncommon Family” series!
