At Bethany Baptist we exist to invite people to new life in Jesus as we love God, grow as a family, and live on mission.
The Baptist Church's mission is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people. The church also seeks to promote fellowship and unity among Christians. Additionally, the Baptist Church strives to promote social justice and care for the poor and needy.
We believe that baptism is an important part of a person's journey with God, and so we make it a priority to offer this to anyone who is seeking it. We also recognize that baptism is a significant decision, and so we take care to ensure that each person is fully prepared before taking the plunge. We provide information and guidance on what baptism entails, as well as prayer and support throughout the process.
