Serve in the community

We don't want to just serve within the walls of the church, we want to serve in our community as well. It's one of the most effective ways we can be a catalyst for transformation. 

Here are some ways you can serve the community directly through our church:

There are many other organizations and ways that you can serve our community. Here are some local organizations we recommend that you can serve individually, with your small group, or with your ministry team here at Bethel: (some needs are mentioned, but you can also click the link for those with websites for more information on how to help)
