Core Values
As a Christian congregation we, the members of Bethel
Lutheran Church, are committed to these core values that, with God’s
grace and guidance, we will achieve the growth of God’s kingdom through
excellence in all that we do. (Colossians 3:15-17)
We value:
- Bible-centered preaching and teaching for all ages
(John 8:31-32).
- Meeting for worship (Acts 2:42), praise (Psalm 100:1-3)
and prayer
(James 5:16).
- A personal commitment to Christ expressed through
God-pleasing
stewardship of time, talents and resources (John 12:26 and Exodus
23:19).
- That all individuals matter to God (John 3:16).
Therefore, we are
dedicated to all people by providing outreach through evangelism in our
community and by supporting missions throughout the world (Acts 1:8 and
Matthew 28:19-20).
- The church family, by showing love and compassion for
our fellow
members (Colossians 3:12-14 and Romans 13:9).
- Strong family bonds by encouraging and counseling one
another in
strengthening our families (Ephesians 5:1-2, 21-25; 6:1-4).

members based on
their gifts (Matthew 20:26-28 and 1 Corinthians 12:4-7).
