Missions and Outreach
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give. II Cor. 9:7
Bethany Presbyterian Church is a congregation that takes missions very seriously. We have a commitment to the great commission and to the needy that encourages us to devote our time and resources to spreading God's word and helping the poor.
In an effort to better serve the missions and missionaries Bethany Presbyterian Church supports we are working to broaden our outreach by informing members and those visiting our website of giving opportunities. Additionally, prospective partners may want to contact you directly.
In either case spreading the “Good News” of Jesus Christ will be furthered
Please share the contact information you would prefer we use in advancing this initiative and provide both the website or regular mail address you choose and your 250-300 character mission statement for our online Mission Directory.
