Small Groups 2024-2025
Men's and women's small groups are studying the book of Isaiah this year! From the prophet's challenging words to the nation of Israel to his prophecies of the Messiah to come— we will learn to rest in God's promises and grow in trust. Isaiah will challenge us to reorient our lives to truly love what is good and just and merciful, and experience an inward change of purpose, turning away from sin and toward godliness and dependency on Christ.
Small group registration is online. Please email suzanne.choi@bethelchurchem.org with any questions.
BCF (College) Community Groups have also begun meeting - on campus and at church. Check the BCF Insta for more details!
