Please note there are certain precautions that are in place to keep those attending services safe. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and cooperation. Maximum capacity within the church is 80 and if needed there is a possibility to utilize an overflow area for additional seating. Seating will be spaced out to allow 6 ft distance between guests (families within the same household will be seated together).
Please bring your own face masks, as face masks are required to be worn while in the church. All those attending will also be asked to review COVID related health questions and provide name/contact number information as you enter.
With all that is going on we are truly grateful to be able to hold services and fully understand that many, who would like to attend, may not feel safe to do so under the current circumstances. To be able to include all of our family/friends, near and far, Bethel will be providing the opportunity for guests to watch live from their own homes by going to Bethel’s YouTube Channel: Bethel Live 4 Christ
