As we serve our community, let’s also remember those who might be overlooked by traditional missions efforts. We’re talking about our neighbors—the people right next door, the barista at the coffee shop, our co-workers, and those we pass every day. They are a diverse group: single, married, divorced; young and old; with different political beliefs, backgrounds, and incomes. They may be full of faith or full of questions, have been hurt by a church or never set foot in one.
No matter their story, these are the people God loves, and we want to do a better job of loving them, too. The Bethany Beyond Walls effort is all about reaching out to this vibrant, diverse community and sharing God’s love with everyone.
Also, it’s worth considering the bigger picture beyond just our church. Consider Christianity in a post-Christian era.
Our Agenda is Simple – Love Them – ALL of them.
