Surprising Truth About Jesus - Sermon Series

Who is Jesus? What was important to him when he walked the earth? This season of the church year is called “Epiphany” which means that something is revealed and made clear to us. Throughout this season, we will learn some surprising truths about who Jesus is and what he came to accomplish. Join us on both campuses for our sermon series entitled, “Surprising Truth About Jesus.”

Small Group Bible Studies

Bethany's small group Bible studies are beginning the winter session this week! During this eight-week session on the topic of "Burden Bearing," these small group studies will dig into God's Word to learn more about how we lift one another up in a godly way, providing strength and support to those who need it most. Even if you aren't currently enrolled in one of these small groups, please feel free to take a study sheet home with you to use as a personal Bible study opportunity this week.

Service Lead Nominations

The Leadership Team is now seeking nominations for the position of Service Lead. Aric Wilson has decided to turn the position over to another person, and we thank him for all of the hard work that he has put in over the years. The Service Lead will be held accountable for all plans and decisions regarding Bethany’s Service ministry.  Aware that every member is meant to minister, he will seek to engage all members in meaningful service within the church and in the community. The Service Team Lead oversees the building and grounds as well as the fellowship team.
