Bethesda
"Bethesda" is Hebrew for "the House of God's love," and that's exactly who we are at Bethesda. We're the recipients of God's love as His children, and we find our motivation to love others in the fact that we know He loved us first. This is the starting point for everything we do here: being loved by God, we love God and love our neighbor.
Evangelical
"Evangelical" is Greek for "Gospel-centered," and that's why we major on the majors and do not budge on the essentials of the Gospel. It also means we fall in the stream of historical Protestantism and historical Evangelicalism. The Trinity, sola Scriptura, inerrancy, the virgin birth, Jesus' death and resurrection, justification by grace alone through faith alone, and the future resurrection are our lifeblood.
Free
While we do not budge on the essentials, and while we encourage theological depth, we are free to be different. You will find every flavor of Protestant at Bethesda (Calvinists and Arminians, cessationists and continuationists, paedobaptists and credobaptists, amillennialists and premillennialists), and that's intentional. We are the most unified church around.
Church
"Church" simply means "a gathering of people," and we're a gathering of people who worship the one true God, His only-begotten Son, and their Holy Spirit in spirit and in truth every Sunday morning. We are a people who truly enjoy being around each other and who worship in-person when at all possible. We believe Christians should gather with each other more, not less, as we await the second coming of Jesus Christ.
