About Bethany EM Presbyterian ChurchThe Bethany EM was founded in November 2008. From inception to now, we gather to be called the one body in Jesus Christ.
We are from diverse backgrounds. We are educators, information and technology professionals, legal professionals,
sales and services, domestic engineers (homemakers), medical and health professionals, government workers, in business,
entrepreneurs, among others. We are called to care and warmly invite all to celebrate, enjoy, and live fully,
in God’s good creation with overflowing joy and blessing. We encourage you to discover a welcoming and loving community at Bethany.
We underscore God’s Word. God's Word (sola scriptura) is what sustains our faith (sola fide) in HIM, uniting all of us as the ecclesia, church, receiving that incredible gift called grace (sola gratia).

Our MissionBethany EM exists to bring glory to God through the proclamation of the Word, honoring the sacraments,
keeping apostolic tradition, and caring for all peoples as community.
Our Vision"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt 28:19). Our vision is toward the greater common commission, to be that believer and disciple communicating and disseminating this truth to "go and make disciples."

Our Values
PREACHING AND TEACHING THAT TRANSFORMS LIVES
The church was created to proclaim and teach God's Word, both as faith seeking understanding (mind/heart), and to live out that theology (praxis) for transformative purposes.

SHARING THE LOVE OF CHRIST
Jesus Christ is the head of the Church. We share God’s love through proper worship (Christocentric), fellowship, sharing of meals, and other gatherings. We give glory to God embracing the agape (love) of Jesus Christ.

WHOLESOME AND LOVING RELATIONSHIPS
Agape love moves us to care, mend, forgive, and cultivate a deeply meaningful relationship—starting in our homes. We build with faith, hope, and love. We celebrate, nurture, laugh, and cry together. We care for the mind, body, soul, and spirit.

SERVE WITH HUMILITY
All are offered the opportunity to serve with humility. At the center of servant-leadership at Bethany is self-emptying. We serve because we care. Humility is the seminal identity of all our servant leaders, of whom we hope that you will be one in the near future (Phil 2).

WORSHIP THAT EXALTS GOD AND INSPIRES PEOPLE
Worship is done 24/7. It is an outward expression of what we believe, expressed daily, in our personal lives at work, home, or during quiet times, but also, and centrally, weekly, on Sundays. Scripture reminds us that God seeks those who worship him in spirit and in truth. Here, you will experience this transformative power of God’s Word each Sunday, as well on Wednesday (Biblical, Theological, Historical, and Pastoral Studies), our monthly faith group gathering, and annual retreat, and revival. Come and experience living worship.
