Keeping in touce with a large congregation, however, does present challenges. Through this ministry every home in our congregation is reached by telephone during the year. Visits by Pastors and lay members bring the church to the hospitalized, nursing homes, and the homebound. Prayer, scripture, and Holy Communion strengthen the faith and spirits of those with special needs. If you are not already a member of Bethel and are looking for a Church home, you are invited to join the roster of Bethel.
Membership involves attending three classes taught by the Pastors.
The classes discuss who Lutherans are and what we believe about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the sacraments of Baptism, and the Lord's Supper. We also discuss the importance of worship, stewardship, and sharing our faith with others. The classes are followed by an Orientation that brings new members, sponsers, and representatives from Committes together for an evening of information and fun. If you are a Lutheran and would like to transfer your membership to Bethel , we welcome you as well. While we believe the classes are helpful , they are not required.
