Our Faith

Bethel Baptist Church believes there is only one living and true God. Our God reigns over all things with providential care as He reveals Himself distinctly through His Son Jesus Christ, and His Holy Spirit. We believe our God divinely inspired men to write His revelation of Himself to mankind in the completed and perfect work of the Holy Bible. Bethel Baptist Church believes the Holy Bible is the inspired word of God and shall be our sole and sufficient authority in all matters of faith and practice. Bethel Baptist Church subscribes in general to the doctrinal statement of the “Baptist Faith and Message” as adopted by the Southern Baptist Convention in the year 2000.

Our Church

Bethel Baptist Church is a place for all to experience God’s grace through faith as we believe God loved the world so much, He sent us His only Son, Jesus Christ. Whoever believes in Jesus Christ will not perish but have eternal life. All will experience God’s truth through the life of Jesus Christ as we believe He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can come to the Father except through Him.

Our Vision

Bethel Baptist Church desires to reach, serve, and teach all people with God’s truth as disciples of Jesus Christ. We desire to reach all people with the truth of God’s love, so they will know Him as their Saviour. We desire to serve the needs of all people with the truth of our love, so they will know God as their Provider. We desire to teach all people the truth of God’s redemption through the study of the Holy Bible, so they will know Him as their Redeemer.

“Meet The Messiah”

The Gospel of Matthew

Matthew, the Jewish tax collector was called away from his entire life and living with only two words, “Follow me.”  Then Matthew wrote a book to explain why.  Matthew did not follow another person.  Matthew followed The Messiah.  Messiah is not the name of someone.  Messiah describes who someone is.  The Messiah is “The Deliverer.”  Everybody wants and is waiting to be delivered.  Precious babies in their mother’s wombs.  Children into academics.  Teenagers into adulthood.  Adults are wanting and waiting to be delivered from anxiety, finances, or hardships, and into careers, relationships, and joy.  The Deliverer then, today, and tomorrow is Jesus Christ.  Being delivered is wonderfully mysterious and calls for an explanation.  The Messiah will “explain everything.”  We think we know and can do anything but quickly discover nothing fits.  Nothing matters.  Nothing works.  Nothing HELPS!!!    What Christians have fits, matters, works, and it will help because we know The Messiah.  Jesus Christ tells us how to be delivered.  Jesus Christ teaches us how to be delivered.  Jesus will “explain everything” to us.  Come and meet The Messiah. 

Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Matthew 16:16-18
