The Bethany Arts Series is dedicated to the celebration of music and art as God's gifts and an extension of worship.
Inspired by the installation of the church's esteemed Clarence Agnes Carlson Memorial Pipe Organ in 2002, the series strives to provide organ and other musical concerts and art shows by musicians and artists of the highest possible caliber.
