• CORE IDEOLOGY

Bethel’s vision and mission statements are expressions of its core values and intends to clarify who we are and what kind of people we want to become. These statements are more than mere words. They are meant to be shared, lived, and reinforced both internally and externally on an everyday basis by every member of the Bethel Presbyterian Church.

• OUR VISION

That Bethel Presbyterian will be a place for all where we:

Love Christ passionately
Serve Christ joyfully and
Share Christ faithfully

• OUR BELIEFS

We believe in God the Father, Creator of all that is;

And in His only Son, Christ Jesus, who, because of His love for us, reconciled us to Himself by His death on the cross, and having defeated death, rose from the dead, is alive today, offers eternal life to all who believe, and will return to rule the world;

And we believe in God the Holy Spirit, who enables us to carry out the mission of the church today.

We believe our mission is to embrace all with Christ's love by using our gifts to be His ambassadors in our community and in the world. We do this through the preaching, teaching, and hearing of the Word as contained in the Holy Scriptures; through our participation in the sacraments; through a ministry of sharing and caring for all people expressed by prayer, tithe, and service.

We do this because God has called us to be His children and to confront others with the truth of Christ in love.
