    Welcome to Bethel

We'd like to welcome you to Bethel's home on the web. But, more than that, we'd love to welcome you in person to our home in the country. Please do join us for any of our services. We like to think you'd be blessed by our community of faith and we know we'd be blessed to have you join us!  Bethel is a rural congregation with a dynamic mix of younger and older people. We enjoy a blended worship style and great fellowship! We are a small town church with a global vision.
