Our Mission:
Lead church members into a disciplined study of Scripture in such a way that they encounter the Living Christ.

New Testament Lesson 7: A Light in the Darkness

“I have pastored four churches with membership from 50 to 700 and the Bethel Series had a spiritual impact in each one. As the people bonded together in the study, it was a community-creating experience that was exciting to see. I am very grateful for the life-changing influence it has had in the people who have been blessed and now are a blessing to others.”
