Welcoming Bethel Sunday Schedule & FAQs

👑 Immerse Kingdoms 👑

Character of the week in Immerse Kingdoms is David.

Immerse Website

"As for God, his way is perfect:

The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?

It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.

He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights.

He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

You make your saving help my shield; your help has made me great.

You provide a broad path for my feet, so that my ankles do not give way."

-David

2 Samuel 22:31-37

*During worship this Sunday, we'll be celebrating Communion.

If you participate on the live-stream, we encourage you to make preparation so that you have bread and juice available. If it would be helpful to you, we're happy to provide you with a delivery of communion pods. Please let us know of your need by contacting the Crosstown office.
