Submit Your Questions
Do you have questions about raising a family or marriage? Well now’s the time to get them answered. During this month’s sermon series, The Uncommon Family, we are producing a few episodes of the Bethel Backstage vodcast that will continue the discussion on this topic. We can’t cover everything from the pulpit, so we hope you will submit any questions you have so we can provide Biblical insight and direction.

Winter Kickoff
Our core discipleship ministries are kicking off a new semester! Now is a great time to get connected in ministry and serving opportunities. We were created to be in community with one another so we can grow in our individual relationships with God and together grow in unity and maturity as a church (Ephesians 4:11-16). Our discipleship communities at Bethel are designed to create intentional relationships with those in similar stages of life. Find your community and register today using the links below, or stop by the tables in the commons for more information.
Bethel Marriage Seminar
The Bethel Marriage Seminar is for couples who have been married for many years or who are just starting out, and whose marriage is healthy or struggling. You’re invited to join us as we discover how to be more intentional about investing in our marriage relationships. “No More Perfect Marriages” is a live teaching and interactive seminar presented by Mark and Jill Savage. Self-described as being married 35 years, 25 of them happily, the Savages learned many lessons while turning around their hurting relationship, and then committed to share what they learned with other couples. Topics include: Navigating Differences, The Slow Fades that are Pulling You Apart (Without you even knowing it!), The 8 God-Tools that Stop the Fades, and Strengthen Your Marriage.
