Bethel Lutheran Church

Here at Bethel we firmly believe that we are all sinners, all imperfect people, all given to temptation. We are all broken people. We all need help. We all need a Savior. But here at Bethel we also believe our only hope is in Jesus Christ, who has rescued us from eternal separation from God's grace. Only Jesus, who is God, could establish a relationship between us and God; and so we believe that out of God's amazing love for His creation, He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for our sins and show us how to love others.

At Bethel, we also believe and teach that this is not the end of the story. Jesus is allive!! Jesus was raised to life and has taken up His throne in heaven where he reigns as our Master and Savior. Here and now, in the midst of the pain and strife in our lives, Jesus is helping and guiding us through tough times and is interceding for us with forgiveness as we continue to make mistakes and fall short of His glory. He also sends to us the Holy Spirit, who lives inside each of us and comforts, guides, directs, strengthens, and empowers us with spiritual gifts to use in this life. As our Master, Jesus' commands our not burdensome...love God, and love the people around you as you love and care for yourself. This is our call as Christians.

We also know that death is part of life. But since Jesus is alive, we can be sure that Jesus will raise us to new and never-ending life when He returns! We will live with God forever in a new and perfect creation. But until that day comes, we at Bethel believe and teach that Jesus has called each of us by faith and commands us to go out in His name to share the Good News of salvation!
