Adult Sunday School
Bethany’s Adult Sunday School gathers on Sunday mornings before our Worship Service to spend time discussing a segment or topic found in Scripture. Pastor Paul enjoys the fact that even as the teacher of this ministry, he learns so much from the sharing and insight of those who participate. The goal of the ministry is for people to grow in their knowledge and understanding of the Scripture in a way that grows and sustains faith in Christ.

Moms Fellowship and Playgroup
Moms Fellowship & Playgroup is an awesome ministry for mothers of young children (infant to preschool). This group, led by Catie Couch, connects and supports moms from the church and community while their children spend time playing with one another. Catie is mom to two beautiful children; Josiah and Eliana. She loves to spend time outdoors, enjoying God's creation by hiking, biking, and camping, but is not a fan of all of the mosquitoes! When these moms get together, they enjoy a time of fellowship (& cup of coffee!) and have an opportunity to share devotional resources and prayer requests, encouraging each other to trust more deeply in the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Aaron's Arms Prayer Ministry
Jesus says “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28). This is a beautiful invitation to prayer. Aaron’s Arms Prayer Ministry is for all those who have confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ, knowing that if they ask anything according to His will, He hears them. As a prayer ministry, Aaron’s Arms regularly brings our Bethany family before the throne of our Lord, seeking to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ by His word and through our various life situations. From one-on-one to small gatherings to larger corporate prayer ties, and our prayer chain via e-mail, we seek the Lord for those in need, for His guidance in reaching out to our community, and that in all we do the name of Jesus Christ will be exalted among His people.

small groups
Small Groups at Bethany are intended to bring us together for a time of fellowship, growth, and mutual encouragement. We start with refreshments/light dinner together and then play a short ("don't worry it will be ok") ice breaker game. That’s followed up with a Bible study. We end our time by praying for each other. Small Groups schedule will be announced for the coming season, stay tuned!
Meeting LOCATION/Times:
Varies by group
Mens Ministry
Bethany Men’s Fellowship is a ministry where the adult men of our church gather together to get to know each other better, support each other, and to share practical ways to serve our Savior. Led by Ray Bevilacqua, who has been live on the radio as a contest winner multiple times, the men always have a great time of fellowship; sharing their everyday life experiences through talk, Bible study, and prayer.
