Some of the core principles of Bethany Church;
CONNECT – We weren’t meant to live this life alone!

– At Bethany, we believe that the most important relationship you can have is one with God. And His desire is that through this relationship, you would also be rightly connected with others here on Earth.
GROW – We weren’t meant to stay the same!
– A rightly restored relationship with God will lead to a change in the trajectory of our lives.
– He is transforming our minds and our hearts to be more like Jesus.
– Our goal is for people to grow into the person God created them to be.
– This growth happens as we engage in intentional relationships and biblical instruction and respond in obedience to God’s leading.
GO – We weren’t meant to keep this to ourselves!
– We have all experienced brokenness in our lives, but God wants this hurting world to know there is hope.
– As believers whose lives are being transformed through our relationship with Jesus, we can’t help but share the hope we’ve found.
– At Bethany, we believe it is our personal responsibility to go to our friends and neighbors and to the world with the hope of the good news.
