Bethany UMC has many interconnected ministries where numerous activities are striving to reach out to our neighbors.
Activities like our annual Easter Egg Hunt, or Pumpkin Patch, or Trunk or Treat, Grandparents Day, Open House, etc. are all efforts to invite our neighbors and get to know the community around us even more. And then there are all of our missions endeavors and benevolence program, House of Friends, Special Needs, etc. that serves our community.
