Welcome to Bethesda Presbyterian Church!
We are glad you have connected to us through our website. Our Mission: Love In Action! It’s that simple. At Bethesda Presbyterian Church, we believe prayerful action – as a church and in our daily lives - is the way of the gospel. Join us in our beautiful Sanctuary or on Zoom for our uniquely "big small church" experience!
Sunday October 19, 10:00 am Sanctuary & Zoom: "There But for the Grace of God Go I?"
What are the marks of true gratitude? And when does gratitude become arrogance? Luke 18:9-14.October 12: The Hope & Blessing of the Immigrant Leper
Scripture: Luke 17:1-9. 'Midst the ICE storm around us, let us lift up our most vulnerable immigrants - how they are being treated as lepers - and what we, in our moments of distress, can learn from their experience.
