Services

Sundays @ 9:30 AM

This is an unstructured service in which various men share a Scripture, a reflection, a hymn or a prayer. Our focus is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This service culminates in taking the bread and the wine in remembrance of him. In some Christian traditions, this service is called “Communion” or “The Lord’s Supper” or the “Eucharist.”

From September to June, a joint Breaking of Bread/Family Bible Hour will be held on the last Sunday of the month. This provides an opportunity for more of our Bethany family to remember the Lord as He asked us to.

Sundays @ 11:00 AM

This service is similar to what most evangelical churches would call their “worship service” or “Sunday morning service.” We sing worship songs reflecting a variety of musical styles. Some are led by a worship team and others are older hymns accompanied by the piano. There are often Scripture readings and prayers, followed by a sermon of about 30 minutes. The preaching is done by a variety of men from the church as well as some who attend other churches. This provides room for different styles, experiences, and approaches in the preaching ministry.

Sundays @ 11:00 AM

Our Sunday School is a busy place for children aged 3 to 15. Our teachers are dedicated to helping our youth learn more about Jesus, deepen their faith in Him and strengthen their Christian walk. Sunday School begins after the worship portion (about 20 minutes) of the Family Bible Hour.
