Women's Ministry Retreat 2025
The Women’s Ministry is excited to invite all women to this year’s retreat, happening September 12th through 14th. The theme is “Rooted in Christ, Christ Abiding in Us,” and it will be a meaningful weekend of worship, rest, and connection with one another. This retreat is open to women in every season of life. It’s a time to slow down, be refreshed, and grow deeper in Christ together. Early registration is now open, and there’s a discount for those who register early! Due to limited space, there's no late registration this year. Registration closes in one month on July 6th, so sign up soon! Scholarships are available! We want every woman who desires to come to be there. So save the date and get ready for a weekend rooted in truth, fellowship and connection!
REGISTER HERE by June 22 for the early bird discount!

Missions Promise Pledge
Everyone is invited to participate in God's kingdom work around the globe by signing up for this year's missions promise pledge! The EM supports 13 missionary families who live out the Gospel by training ministry leaders, discipling missionary kids, reaching out to international students, and serving the material and spiritual needs of refugees. Bethel will also send out several short-term missions teams in 2025, which impact and encourage not only the local community, but also our members who are sent.
Sign up online today to partner and pray with us as we work to share the gospel globally.
NEW Prayer Drop Box
Did you know the EM has an intercessory prayer team and that they want to pray for you? You can now drop prayer requests in the offering and prayer drop boxes in the back of the Promise Chapel. There are prayer request forms located on the side of the boxes.
You can also email prayer@bethelchurchem.org at any time!
Family Connect Table
If your family has been coming to Bethel for a while, but still feel like newcomers, please come to the Family Connect Table!
Hosted by the Family Ministry for families who wish to connect with other families.
Come to the MPR (that's the gym) after service, and look for the bright yellow table with the "EM Family Connect" sign.
We will not be hosting the table on Sundays when lunch is being served.
Family Groups
Marriage and parenting have many joyous moments. But they also come with many difficult trials that can make you feel alone in your struggle. As part of our church body, you don't have to do it alone. Join a family group. Be a blessing and be blessed as you share life together and encourage each other with God’s promises.
Church Building Repair Report
If you ever notice something that needs repair or service in the church building, please submit the Building Repair Report to let the building ministry know! It takes a congregation to keep our church in good shape.
Prayer Requests
Let's earnestly go to God together with your prayer requests! Send your prayer requests confidentially to the prayer team. We can also request a prayer team member to meet to pray with you.
