Church Wide Health Survey

How Are We Doing?

You matter to us, and we want to hear from you! Bethel Bible Church exists to see hearts transformed by biblical truth, the world reached through intentional missions, and God glorified in every aspect of our lives. To help us do that, over the past year, we’ve worked alongside a team of Bethel members, representing all campuses, to create a Church Wide Health Survey. This survey focuses on our mission to grow communities, build leaders, and live generously. Your participation in taking this survey will help us celebrate the past, and help give focus for the future. It should only take 5 minutes and can be completed from your phone!

Please scan the QR code or visit “bethelbiblesurvey.com” today!

Family Dedication

May 12, 2024
Where: Bethel Downtown
Bethel Downtown, Bethel Downtown Event

Our next Family Dedication will be on May 12, 2024 during each service. If you have had a baby within the past year, adopted, or just haven't had the chance to dedicate your children to the Lord and would like to do so, then this is for you! Family Dedication is not an ordinance or infant baptism, and it does not secure the salvation of the child, but it is a great chance for parents and the church to make a mutual promise to love, support, and guide the children that God has given us.
If you're interested in participating, please email ashley@bethelbible.com.

Unique Giving Opportunity

Where: Bethel Downtown

Downtown family, we have a unique opportunity for you to provide some direct support to one of our much loved missions partners. Gabriele and Melissa Guidi are our Italian missions partners in Milan, and they are working on sending their two teenage daughters to Pine Cove this summer. Melissa got to attend Pine Cove when she was a teen, and it was a life-changing experience that they would love for their own kids to have. While here, the teens would also get to stay with a Bethel host family and experience our church firsthand.

They've received a great discount to cover most of the cost of camp, but they still need to raise about $6000 to cover the remainder and the plane tickets from Italy. While this is outside of the norm for how we fundraise, in this case it's similar to when we raised money for them to get a new computer four years ago. It's a one-time ask that will help them and their family as they do ministry in a place that desperately needs it, and we're excited for the opportunity to give because they are truly an extension of us in Milan. Donate by clicking the link below and selecting "Guidi Daughters Pine Cove Fund" from the drop down menu at the top.

Life Group Discussion Questions - Acts 3:11-26

1. Describe a time when you shared your faith - how did it go? What went wrong; what went right? What's something you would do differently?

2. Why is it difficult for many Christians to share their faith? What are the obstacles to evangelism? How can we address and overcome those?

3. What aspects of your past discourage you from sharing your faith? How could that be an entrance to someone else's situation?

4. Have you ever been the recipient of someone trying to share their faith...badly? How did that make you feel? What can we do to prevent repeating those kinds of errors?

5. When sharing your faith, what are some Scriptural passages that you would want to use?
