Bethel Church is looking for their next Pastor of Worship and Discipleship!
About the Church
Bethel is a multi-generational, regional church with people coming from 30-60 miles away. What draws people to Bethel is the priority on Worship and the Word. The one Sunday service is at 9:30 AM. Folks are warmly greeted at the front door and as they enter the worship center. Bethel has many talented musicians and singers. The music is contemporary, vertically-oriented, and participatory. The people love to worship! Every Sunday, the Bethel worship service is live-streamed into several rural churches which are part of the Rural Church Network that Bethel pioneered over a decade ago.
Bethel is part of the Evangelical Free Church of America. The church partners with Awana for Wednesday night Children’s Ministry. They are engaged with the Cru ministry at Lake Region State College. Bethel also works closely with Fahocha Bible Camp providing support, campers, and camp counselors. Folks from Bethel serve locally at the pregnancy center, food pantry, suicide awareness council, and many more. The pastoral staff is involved with the local network of cross-denominational pastors.
