Welcome to Bethany! Bethany is a community of Christ’s faithful followers gathering around Jesus to believe, belong and bless. Whether you are just exploring your faith or have a vibrant relationship with Christ, we invite you to be a part of our faith community. Bethany has a rich mix of both a deeply rooted traditional worship and contemporary praise worship. We welcome all people, regardless of where you are in your faith journey. Bethany is a community where we grow in faith, a safe place to exploring coming back to a faith community, or simply to learn what faith is all about.
The Bethany faith family seeks to follow Christ’s command to love our neighbors as ourselves. Bethany strives to be an active and engaged member in our greater community of Western Douglas County by sharing with and serving those in our community. Bethany also has a deep commitment to global mission, primarily through a partnership with Kaya Children International serving children of the streets in La Paz, Bolivia.
Worship at Bethany is family friendly with Biblically based messages relevant to daily life. Explore what worship on Sundays and Wednesdays is like at Bethany and learn more about our current worship series.
Regardless of where you are in your faith journey you are welcome here at Bethany. We hope to see you soon as we share together in our faith journey, worshipping our Lord and serving our community.
