What's happening at Bethel Evangelical Free Church

Current Sermon Series!

A title graphic with the words 'Speaking for God' and 'The Ministry of Elijah' over an orange flame on a dark gray background.

Elijah’s story reminds us that the empty promises of fame, success, and false gods are nothing new. In 1 Kings 17, Elijah boldly confronts King Ahab and declares the power of the living God over Israel’s powerless idols. As Christians, we are also called to speak for God by faithfully representing who He is, what He has said, and the hope He offers.

Join us this Sunday as we begin Speaking for God

and learn from Elijah’s bold example.

Ladies' Advent Bible Study (Online)

This year, instead of gathering for an in-person Advent study, we invite all ladies to participate in a special Advent Bible study together through the YouVersion Bible App!

The study will begin on Sunday, November 29th. As we journey through the Advent season, we encourage everyone to engage with the daily readings and interact with one another in the comments. It’s a wonderful opportunity to grow in God's Word, reflect on the meaning of Christ's coming, and encourage one another throughout the season! Click on the button below to join the group early!

Current Adult Sunday School Series: "You Will Be My Witnesses"

Join us for Adult Sunday School every Sunday at 9:45am. We are currently going through the book of Acts as we explore the growth of the early church and what it means to be Christ’s witnesses. Together, we’ll learn how God worked through ordinary people to share the gospel, build His church, and reach the world.

Awana!

Every Tuesday at 6:30pm in accordance with the school calendar. Register your child. If you are interested in volunteering, please let Rosemarie know!
