Faith Promise

Here at Bethel we know it is important to support local, national, and global missions. There are over 40 missionary organizations that Bethel supports monthly and we also support others throughout the year. Each year we have a Missions month where we focus on our missionaries and make a Faith Promise Pledge which supports our missionaries financially throughout the year.
