Bethel Missions & Outreach Ministry
The Bethel Missions & Outreach Ministry focuses on helping Bethel be “salt and light” to our neighbors, our country, and around the world. We do this in response to Christ’s Great Commission to “…go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing…teaching… and lo, I am with you always to the close of the age.” (Matt. 28:19)
So how do we do this? We are committed to praying, financially supporting ministries all over the world, and we serve locally, nationally, and internationally.
Upcoming Opportunities
Prayer
We bring requests before the Lord and thank Him for His many blessings on a regular basis. We do this is in many ways:
- Publication of Acts Facts with descriptions of all our missionaries and their work
- Newsletter items with prayer requests from missionaries
- Open prayer time during each worship service
Financial Support
Bethel has rich history of believing in the importance of the Great Commission, and supporting missionaries around the world. This is evident in our Missions Budget, which is an additional separate budget outside of our General & Operating budget. All contributions to the Mission Budget, our Lenten Offering, and our Thank Offering go directly to local, national, and individual individuals and agencies.
