BETHEL is a Southern Baptist church.  This basically means that we voluntarily participate in world missions through the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention through financial and prayer support, we agree with the basic doctrine and theology of the Baptist Faith & Message (2000), and we are an autonomous body of Believers.  Autonomy simply means that our congregation makes decisions for our church.  Decisions are not made by a diocese, convention, or bureaucratic group outside of our local church.

BETHEL is a Simple Church.  This means we focus on the simple vision laid out by Jesus Christ (the Head of the Church), found in His Two Greatest Commandments (Matthew 22:37-40) & His Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20).  

Our Vision:  love God.  love people.  change the world.

BETHEL is a Purpose-Driven church.  This means we operate according to the five purposes for the church as expressed through the New Testament: worship, evangelism, discipleship, fellowship & ministry.

Our Purpose: To bring people to Jesus and membership in His family, train them toward Christ-like maturity, equip them for their ministry in the church and their life mission in the world, all to magnify God’s name.
