Worship Style

Each Sunday at 11:00 a.m., our sanctuary is filled with relaxed people coming together to hear from God and seek ways to follow Jesus more meaningfully. Everyone is welcome - dress as you are comfortable and come as you are!

Our Worship Style is a mixture of both Contemporary and Traditional elements (often called a “blended style” of worship):

     Our Worship Team leads the congregation in both traditional hymns and modern songs each
     week. The team of talented vocalists are accompanied by our pianist and keyboardist,
     our drummer, and sometimes other instruments.

     Our Choir sings each week, and sometimes there is a drama, creative dance, solo,
     PowerPoint presentation, or other creative element in the service.

Communion is served on the first Sunday of the month; those who are sincere followers of Jesus are invited to take the bread and the cup in remembrance of  Jesus, while those not yet ready to follow Jesus are simply asked to pass the  bread and cup along when it is passed.

The sermons are intended to give practical insight into what it means to follow God in this century. Pastor Jim attempts to present the good news of God and  the principles of the Bible accurately, creatively, and insightfully, using stories, humour, current events, and life experiences.

Prayer Chain
  

Bethany Church is a church that believes in prayer and our Prayer Chain has been revised to insure that your prayer requests are dealt with in a timely manner and the Prayer Team is committed to praying for you. If you have a specific prayer request, please contact Pastor Jim Parker.

Sunday School for Children and Youth ages 3 to grade 8
 
Part-way into the Service, children are invited to the front for a children’s time, and then they are invited to go downstairs for some age-appropriate programming by our qualified staff.

Nursery provided for infants ages 0 to 3 years for the duration of the service.

Wheelchair Accessibility

Our sanctuary is fully accessible, with a wheelchair ramp up the Cosburn doors, with an automatic door to enter.
