Who We Are

Members

Bethany Community Church is supported by hundreds of members—individuals who have attended Bethany for a while, who call Bethany their home church, and who have committed publicly to Bethany's Membership Covenant. They support the church body in countless ways through service, leadership, and prayer. We emphasize membership because real community is the fruit of commitment, service, and accountability.

Volunteers

Hundreds upon hundreds of invaluable volunteers work behind-the-scenes at each Bethany location. We could not function as a church body without them.

Serve at Bethany

Governing Council

At the helm of Bethany Community Church is an 8- to 11-member Governing Council who are nominated and elected each year by the church's members. These dedicated, experienced leaders direct the mission of Bethany and seek to discern God’s vision for our community.
