Loving God
9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Loving God
Loving God
In Bethel we acknowledge the greatest commandment of loving God, which has been revealed in his Word – putting him first; knowing him, worshipping, praising and desiring him in all the areas of our lives – everyday.
Bethel Church: "Shining Light, Showing Love"
Bethel means 'House of God'
We are much more than a building … we are a community of Christians seeking to put the words “Shining Light…Showing Love” into action. We purposely extend our love and support to each other as we grow in our personal Christian faith journey. We actively give of ourselves to the community of Acton and to the world around us.
Sunday gatherings are a joy and are important to us as we meet together to worship. We are encouraged and challenged by biblical teaching. Ministry opportunities geared toward children, youth and adults are an important part of who we are.
Our themes are centred around Loving God, Loving Each Other, and Loving our Community.
What we believe
- God is bigger and better and closer than we could ever imagine.
- The Bible is God’s perfect guidebook for living.
- Jesus is God showing Himself to us.
- Through His Holy Spirit, God lives in and through us.
- Nothing in creation “just happened”. God made it all.
- Grace – Jesus’ gift of sacrificing His life to pay for our sin – is the only way to have a relationship with God.
- Faith is how we grow in our relationship with God.
- God has allowed evil to provide us with a choice; God can bring good even out of evil events and promises victory over evil to those who choose Him.
- Heaven and hell are real places. Death is a beginning, not the end.
- The church is to serve people, like Jesus served people.
- Jesus is coming again.
