The Wednesday night bible study is meeting. See details below.
 

Wednesday Adult Bible Study (6:30PM)

Current study: LUKE

The Wednesday night Bible study will study the Gospel of Luke this fall.

This midweek Bible study is all about refreshment in God's Word and in fellowship with one another. Men and women of all ages, some from Bethel and some from our community, gather at church on Wednesday evenings at 6:30PM. All are welcome! We hope you'll to join us.

 

Adult Sunday School (9:30AM)

current study: J. Gresham Machen’s Christianity and Liberalism.
In honor of its 100-year anniversary, we will be studying J. Gresham
Machen’s Christianity and Liberalism. Machen’s role in the Presbyterian Controversy
helps us get and keep the gospel clear, sharpens our discernment, and encourages
us "to contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints.”
 

Our discipleship plan emphasizes four key areas of growing maturity:

  • Thirsting for Christ (the gospel),
  • Reaching out with Christ's love,
  • Exalting God in worship, and
  • Evangelizing the lost.

These four key areas form the acronym TREE. We teach through each major area of discipleship theme in regular rotation.  

 

 

WHY SUNDAY SCHOOL?

Christ called us to be and to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching to observe all that Christ commanded. At Bethel we have developed a plan for making disciples. First, since only the gospel grows believers, we proclaim the good news of what God has done for us in Christ as the sum and substance of every Sunday school lesson—without exception. Second, we focus on four key areas of growth and plan our teaching around them. Based on Scripture, a mature disciple is characterized by four basic attributes, summarized in the acronym TREE:
  • Thirsting for Christ
  • Reaching Others (loving others as Christ has loved us)
  • Exalting God (in all of life)
  • Evangelizing (sharing the good news with others)
Adult Sunday school regularly teaches through these four topics to stir growth. By working out the implications of the gospel for each topic, we trust God will grow and mature us in Christ.
