From: Bethel Church And MinistriesGood Morning, Bethel Church!
We are excited to worship with you this morning!
Today we begin a four-week series that focuses on the vision and values of Bethel Church. By attending or viewing all four sermons, this series will fulfill the Discover Bethel class we require for those considering membership. Watch for more details to follow.
Not able to attend in person? That’s okay!
Join us live on our website, Youtube, or Facebook!
Women of the Word
Women of the Word (“WOW”) is the discipleship ministry for women at Bethel. This weekly Bible study is offered in both the fall and spring to women who want to grow closer to God by studying the Bible. Our hope is that eventually, all women would find themselves in WOW, digging deep into God’s Word and doing life together with other women who love Jesus. We offer several options including mornings with childcare, evenings, Zoom, and independent study. We will be studying the first half of Matthew, and the cost for the study material is $25.

Fall Steps
Steps is a recovery and care ministry that exists to offer practical steps, care, encouragement, accountability, and community to anyone struggling with life hurts. Steps will use the best of all programs, building on gospel truth and integrating the 12 steps as the basis for finding freedom and victory in Christ. We will have groups designed to tackle and overcome addiction, anxiety, marriage issues, depression, and a host of distress. Steps will meet at the Crown Point campus on Monday evenings, beginning September 11 at 6:30pm, for a 12-week session. It will include a time of community, live large-group teaching, and small-group discussion and accountability each week. There will also be a limited online option. We hope you will join us.
