What is worship at Bethany like?

We look forward to you joining us for a worship service!


Dress
We welcome you as you are.

Music
Worship is a participatory experience. Most of the time, our music comes from the rich tradition of hymns found in the Lutheran Service Book.  About twice a month at our Sunday 10 am services, we sing contemporary Christian music.

Prayer
Our prayer during Sunday services allows us to acknowledge our dependence on God, our Father,  in all things.  We pray for the needs of the church and its members.

Message
The teaching and preaching time seeks to communicate God’s Truth in compelling, relevant ways. Each service, we pray that God blesses the preaching of the word that it might penetrate our hearts and impact our lives in the week ahead.

Offering
We give generously as an act of worship, not under compulsion of any kind but out of a joyful heart.
