 Currently, we are enjoying both, In-person services in Church, and online services through Zoom. People from all over America are tuning in on Sundays to experience our ministerial services. The feedback from all of our members and friends has been very positive. They love the fact that they are able to praise God with likeminded Christians no matter where they live. Bethel Presbyterian Church is a blessed congregation that is being led by our heavenly Father. We praise his name for his guidance.   

We will continue doing what we are called to do, and we praise God every day for all of the blessings that he has bestowed on us. Each Sunday, we receive the assurance that we are on the right path, as we welcome various pastors who deliver stimulating messages to our congregation. We hope you will join us every Sunday at 10:00am, In-person or on Zoom!

Our Mission Statement

Bethel Presbyterian Church, was founded and organized in 1884 to create an opportunity for African Americans to develop their talents for leadership and to participate in doing the work of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to allow the Holy Spirit to call people to a Life of Faith in Jesus Christ and to become part of His body, which is the Church. We strive to share our Christian Ministry, utilizing the talents and gifts that God has given to each person. To achieve these goals, Bethel seeks to promote the spiritual growth of each member, from preschooler to Senior Citizen through Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Bible Study, Leadership Training, The Preached Word, and Ministries growing out of the needs of the congregation and community. 

Here is a poem Judith wrote for her sister, our dear Jacqueline Horne Gordon, at her Celebration of Life on July 22nd, 2023, that was held at Bethel Presbyterian Church:

Services the Church Provides

Corporate Worship Life

Our Sunday services at Bethel Presbyterian Church are filled with spirit, song, and fellowship. Bethel's services have changed over the years.

The Music & Worship Committee is in charge of organizing a Liturgist schedule for the year. Each member and friend of Bethel is invited to act as the leader and assist the Pastor during a Sunday Service. These duties include leading the Call to Worship, Responsive and Scriptural Readings and all other Corporate prayers included in our Order of Service.

Join Us Every Sunday For In-Person Or Virtual Church Service!

 Join us at Bethel Presbyterian Church for In-person services every Sunday!  Bring your family, friends, neighbors and be enlightened! You can also join virtually through our Zoom Service at 10:00am every Sunday.

The Prayers of the People has become an uplifting part of our service, giving members and friends the opportunity to lift their joys and concerns. This is also the time we join together as a body and allow members time to come forward for prayer or for personal rededication.

We end our service with a Moment of Silent Reflection, so that we can center ourselves on the Word before leaving our "sanctuary" to rejoin the "World".

The church provides several special services during the year such as Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and Youth Day.

We also celebrate the Church calendar holidays of Palm Sunday, Easter, Advent Season and Christmas and other special days.

The words of Dr. Martin Luther King remind us in 2024:

1) Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

2) Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. 

3) I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.

4) We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.

Let the Peace of God be with you!
