Return to Bethany Assembly

Ministries

In the good ol' days neighbors talked over picket fences, and kids rushed through their homework to go outside and play impromptu games of kickball, hold important meetings in unstable tree forts, take turns being the mom or teacher, and hold life-or-death baseball games with too few players. Those of you born before the advent of the internet and PlayStation may remember those days. But times have changed. (Cliche, I know...but nonetheless true.) It's no wonder so many people feel isolated and lonely.

We believe that we are called as a church to reverse that trend. There is always something going on around here. A little something for everyone. Our vision is to meet people wherever they are in the timeline of life and provide opportunities to connect with those who are like-minded.

Here are just a few ways you can connect at Bethany:

  • Regularly attend one of four Sunday worship services.
  • Join a Life Change Class and find the support you need in your time of life.
  • Attend a Life Development class and become a partner.
  • Attend any one of Bethany many classes on Sunday and throughout the week to help you grow in your faith.
  • Volunteer to serve and become an active partner at Bethany.
  • Join a Life Group. These groups meet on the 1st and 3rd Sunday evening of each month in homes all over Lenawee County.

We believe that people are the most fulfilled when they are using their unique talents to build something bigger than themselves. With that in mind, Bethany offers more than 100 ministries for people to get involved in.

Dolly Parton Imagination Library 
Dear Friends & Neighbors,
Growing up in the Smoky Mts. was a real blessing. One of the most precious memories is sitting in my mother's lap and listening to her read me stories from the Bible. It felt so warm and cozy. My imagination soared to places far beyond our little cabin. Those wonderful moments with my mother inspired me to create my imagination library. I hope these books inspire you to read to your child. Dolly Parton 

Thank YOU!
To Lenawee Community Foundation, children 0-5 years can receive a book mailed to your child each month until their 5th birthday! If you are interested in the program please pick up an information packet at the Sign-Up table.
