Who are we?

We are teachers and students, leaders and learners, artists and musicians, mountain climbers and trail blazers, prayer warriors and shuttle drivers. We are a diverse group of individuals and families called together to worship and fellowship in community, whose primary aim is to give expression to the hope found in Christ and to share that hope with the world.

Volunteers

Working behind the scenes at Bethany are hundreds upon hundreds of invaluable volunteers. We could not function as a church body without them. Find out more about serving at Bethany.

Members

Bethany Community Church is supported by hundreds of Members, individuals who have attended Bethany for a while, who call Bethany their home Church, and who have committed publicly to the Bethany Membership Covenant  They support the church body in countless ways through service, leadership, and prayer. We emphasize membership because real community is the fruit of commitment, service, and accountability. Find out more about becoming a member.

Council

At the helm of Bethany Community Church is an 8- to 11-member Governing Council nominated and elected each year by the church membership. These dedicated, experienced leaders direct the mission of Bethany and seek to discern God’s vision for our community.  2012-13 Governing Council.
