Bethel is a congregation rooted in the love of God and dedicated to worldwide transformation through revival. The Lord has given us a mandate to be a resource center to impact cities and nations. We believe we're on the edge of the greatest revival of all time.
We are a vibrant family of hope-filled believers who deeply experience the love and presence of God and partner with Jesus to express the joy and power of His kingdom in every area of life. At the center of our gatherings is a pursuit of God's presence, where our hearts are transformed and launched into our destinies. We are excited to run with you and pursue God's presence until the earth looks like heaven.
We welcome you to join us in this adventure!
