Bethany is a group of people who are excited about the next step that God has for their lives; this why we say we are, "calling everyone to positive change through the power of Jesus." The power of Jesus to reach our divine potential is experienced in a community of believers who share their hearts, their hurts and their hopes. No one is coerced or pressured to integrate their lives with others, but everyone is invited. No one is expected to be perfect, just start the journey with us as you are. Together we strive to live beyond ourselves; to serve one another and the world around us.
