Sundays at Bethany

Worship at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

Sunday morning services are at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. If you're unable to come to church, join us online at 9 a.m.

  • The 9 a.m. service offers an uplifting, hymn-based worship experience.
  • The 10:30 a.m. service encourages contemplative engagement at a slower, quieter pace. Inspired by Iona and Taizé traditions, it fosters community and connection through a welcoming sensory experience. Both invite meaningful connection!

Sunday School at 8:45 a.m.

Sunday School begins at 8:45 a.m. for 3 year-olds through 5th grade. Students meet their teachers in our lower-level Sunday school room and join the church service after the sermon.
