Outreach
At Bethany we are committed to living into the mission of God for our world. Therefore our mission is making the invisible God visible in our community and around the world by embodying the reign of Christ in word and deed.
We all can agree that the world is broken. It is all around us, from famine in Africa to child prostitution on the streets of Seattle. However, despite the brokenness, we still have hope… We have hope because we know that God has a plan for the world… a good and beautiful plan. Ephesians 1:10 says that God has “a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth”. He is working, here, among the brokenness, to overcoming sin, disease, poverty, injustice and suffering; to bring in a Kingdom of grace, reconciliation, healing, joy, love, mercy, transformation, and justice. And we are part of the plan, actually even integral in it!

How do I get involved?
Bethany Community Church is developing disciples who are making God visible in our world. You can find multiple opportunities to learn, serve, pray and give:
- Join a Community Group to study mission or serve with a group.
- Volunteer with Tabitha Ministries, Bethany’s local outreach ministries.
- Join in activities to pray for and support our local and international partnerships and missionaries.
- Serve as a member of the Mission Leadership Team, planning Bethany’s outreach work.
We are each invited to take the next steps to make God visible through our everyday lives. Maybe your next step is getting to know the Real Change merchant you walk by everyday on your way to work, inviting your next door neighbor over for dinner, or just waking up every morning and asking God to reveal how you can serve Him in that day.
How will you make the invisible God visible in the world?
