Guiding Principles

ACCEPTING:
Accepting all people without prejudice or judgment. Accepting children enthusiastically to bring us change.

SERVING:
Encouraging people to participate in our spiritual community.  Responding to needs in our church community, local community and world community. Serving children and families generously to inspire them.

LOVING:
Caring for those who love us, caring for those who challenge us. Loving children unconditionally to show them God's love. Embracing challenges with God's love and grace.

In our time, life is fast paced, often impersonal, and overloaded with media hype seeking our attention. In the midst of this context, people yearn for a place just to be themselves, to be known and accepted, and to be spiritually fed.

At Bethany Lutheran Church, our community of faith has been gifted with the simple ability to truly let people know that they matter, are cared for, and known by name. We believe this spiritual gift conveys how God seeks to relate to each one of us. We matter to the One who created us. God cares for us. God knows us.

Bethany is an inclusive community. Youth, the elderly, families, and singles are valued and cared for here. We invite and welcome you to experience the warmth of our congregation, to worship and be spiritually nurtured in this community of God's People.
