Upcoming Events
What's happening at Bethel Evangelical Free Church
Current Sermon Series!
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.
