Here at Bethany, our doors are wide open to people from all
backgrounds. Together, we're striving to become the kind of church
described in the Bible - a church with relevant teaching, heart-felt
worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for
those in need. In short, we'd like to have the kind of contagious
Christianity that can influence and encourage the entire community, one
life at a time. So, whether you're a spiritual seeker who's just
starting to ask questions about God, de-churched believer or a committed
Christian who wants to sink the roots of your faith even deeper, you
can find a home here at Bethany. You'll find that this is a place where
you really matter - because you matter to God.

What To Expect:
During a Sunday Morning Encounter
Services begin at 9:00am and 11:00am Sharp. As you drive into the parking lot you will find a number of spaces waiting for you, and if you are in need of handicap access, they are located towards the main doors.
As you walk through the doors you will be greeted by a few smiling faces and will receive that Sunday's sermon note sheet which has the fill-ins for you to fill out. As you enter the sanctuary ahead feel free to find a comfortable seat and make yourself at home. Service will usually, but not always, begin with praise and worship followed by a welcome and greeting guest. I know what you are probably thinking, 'What do they do to the new guest?' Well, Pastor will direct you to a Guest Information card and ask you to fill it out and after service take it to the Kiosk desk to receive a free gift. At this point you will be getting geared up for a dynamic and practical teaching in which you are encouraged to take notes on your supplied bulletin. At the end of the service the pastor will take a moment for the offering, but please don't feel obligated to give as a new guest, and then close with some exciting announcements. It's really that simple!
During a Sunday Classic Encounter
If your style is more traditional, then join us for the Classic Encounter which begins at 9:00am and will be located in the Event Center. The structure of this Encounter will be the same as in the sanctuary, but with a more relaxed atmosphere, softer music, and with the same powerful message.
During a Sunday Evening Encounter
Every Sunday night we have services at the Bethany campus at 6:00pm and they look much like the Sunday AM Encounters. The only difference is that Sunday night is a little more relaxed and may last a little longer than the AM Encounter.
During Wednesday Evening Classes
On Wednesday nights from 6:30pm everyone meets at the Bethany campus for different elective style classes that we call Building University. The flow into the building is just like it would be on a Sunday AM or PM Encounter. For more information on Building University, click here.
Commonly Asked Questions:
What should I wear?
People here will wear anything from ties and dress shoes to shorts and flip-flops. The pastors are usually in jeans and we simply ask for people to be themselves. However, we do have the same policy as most public places, where we ask for those attending to at least wear something!
How long do the services last?
On Sunday mornings the encounters last approximately 1hr, a Sunday evening may last a little bit longer, and Wednesday nights are done by 8:00pm.
What is the style of music like?
The style of music is predominately newer music driven by keyboards, drums, guitars, and a plethora of singers. There is also a flare of some of the classic worship songs with a creative twist. It is very upbeat and allows you the opportunity to worship however you feel comfortable.
How many people attend?
There are normally around 400 people in attendance at each service.
