Frequently Asked Questions

The Good News about Jesus is at the center of who we are and what we do and it inspires us to care for others and the world God has made.
What kind of Lutheran church is this?
Bethany Lutheran Church is a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran Church body in the United States.
What is worship like?
Worship at Bethany is engaging, creative, and meaningful. Our worship is a unique blending of the church’s ancient patterns and modern-day creativity. Our talented music staff and choirs lead beautiful hymns, and anthems and our sermons are thought-provoking and based in the scriptures while always being applicable to today. We would love to be in worship together. To get a better sense of worship at Bethany please visit our Youtube page to watch recordings from previous gatherings.
I am ____________________ ? Will I be welcomed here?
Yes! All are welcome at Bethany Lutheran Church. We strongly believe that God’s grace extends to all people. We are not here to condemn or judge you, rather, we want to grow together as followers of Jesus and we invite anyone to join in this journey.
Can I take communion during worship?
All are welcome to share in the sacrament of Holy Communion. This invitation comes not from the Bethany council, or the Pastor, but from Jesus Christ himself. As Lutheran Christians we believe that Jesus Christ is truly present in, with, and under the bread and wine.
