Bethel Steps

Sunday at 11:15

Helping you take your next step - That's the purpose of Bethel Steps.

We offer a group for every age.  The adults meet in the auditorium or library and discuss the morning's sermon.  It give an opportunity to ask questions about things you didn't understand and share your own insights into the topic for the day.

The younger teens meet together to discuss topics that specifically pertain to their age.

The children have separate age-based classes where the learn Bible stories and do activities or sing songs based on the days lesson.

Everyone is welcome.

Building is Coming Along

New Year – New Theme

During 2023, we will continue our study in the Gospel of John.  However, this year our focus will come from John 20:21 “…Peace be with you.  As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”

This years theme is “SENT”.  We will take up the mantle of our mission and reach out into our community and our families, taking the gospel of Christ and the Love of the Lord to all those around us.

With this new theme, we will be starting new ministries.  A Community Cupboard will be organised to meet the physical needs within the church and among our contacts and community.  We will have film nights throughout the year that give an opportunity to share the gospel.  Men’s and Women’s seminars are also scheduled through the year.

Let’s get out there, as we have been Sent by God.
