“Love one another, as I have loved you.” (John 15:12)
We are a little country church with a big heart, known for our fellowship, friendliness and love for each other and our community. We love to sing and have fun together, and we cherish our children and our large extended family.
We strive to follow the Way of Jesus; to love God, to love and help one another, to seek justice and to nurture community.
Our mission: To know, to show, to grow God’s love…
Our vision: Motivated by God’s Love to build for the future
We'd love to see you for worship Sundays at 10am!
We are called to acknowledge this land on which we are grateful to work, live and worship as the ancestral home of the Michi Saagiig Nishinaabeg people. We respect their traditional relationship with and stewardship of this land, and commit to supporting Reconciliation and a just world for all,
in the Way of Jesus.

Dear Bethel family:
Sadly, I’m writing again to let you know that our time of church cancellations will have to be extended. It’s unclear how long we will be asked to keep safe physical distance to avoid exposure to the COVID-19 virus, and so we have made the only loving and responsible decision; to keep the church closed for all activities until we are reassured by our local health authorities
that we are safe to resume.
Bethel’s church family is a close and caring family, and even though we won’t be gathering for worship and other activities for a while, I’m confident that you will continue to check in with and care for one another. Know that I’m only a phone call or email away if you feel the need to talk or just want to touch base, and know that you are all daily in my prayers.
I will continue to email with any significant updates, and to connect with folks and provide links to online worship through our Facebook page. Just so you know, you do not have to be on Facebook to be able to see what’s on our Facebook page. You can simply go to www.facebook.com/BethelUnitedChurch.
As well, we hope that you will continue to support our church financially, if you are able. Most of our expenses continue whether we have church on Sunday or not, and by continuing your regular offerings we can hope to be in a reasonable financial position when this extraordinary situation is over.
These days are unlike anything we have ever seen, and it is strange and scary. But we’ve seen challenging times before, and as before we will get through this time together. The medical authorities assure us that this will eventually pass. Our churches and schools, etc will once again be open, and we will again be able to gather as a church family to laugh, cry, sing and worship together.
This extraordinary and anxious time is an opportunity for us to truly live our vision: To know, to grow, to show God’s love. Now and in the future.
“God is our shelter and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.” ~ Psalm 46:1
In faith, with love,
~ Kim
