Highlights
Share Your Hope: 2026 Evangelism Goal

We continue our annual churchwide evangelism focus, “Share Your Hope.” Our challenge this year is to get everyone involved by doing something—having gospel conversations, participating in outreach ministries, or serving in places like soup kitchens where intentional relationships and gospel conversations can naturally happen. Our goal is to equip and encourage the whole church to share the same unchanging message through countless methods as God opens doors.

Announcements

Men's Titus Bible Study
Feb 18 - Apr 1 | Wednesdays 6:15 pm to 7:45 pm

Bethany is offering a new Wednesday night men’s Bible study this semester focused on the book of Titus. In Paul’s letter to Titus, we see that spiritual strength is built on sound doctrine. Join us in the Fireside Area as we grow in our knowledge of God and His glorious gospel, and allow God’s Word to shape our lives toward love and good works.

Seasons of Motherhood
Feb 3rd - Apr 7th | Tuesdays 9:30am - 11:00am

Seasons of Motherhood is a women’s group for moms with kids in every stage—from young children to teens and everything in between. The group meets on Tuesdays at church with childcare and focus on a Scripture-rich Bible study. This semester, we will study Childproof: Parenting by Faith, Not Formula by Julie Lowe as they grow together and stay grounded in God’s truth. Sign up through MyBethany or contact the church office.

An Evening with Olly Atmadja: Sharing Christ Across Cultures
Thursday, January 29th, 6:00 pm

Come be encouraged and inspired in your walk with the Lord as we gather for a time of fellowship with Olly Atmadja, hosted by Mandy Hobbs and Kayli Ugorji. Olly will share how God is working in and through her life as she lives out the gospel in Indonesia, offering a firsthand look at faith, mission, and gospel impact across cultures. All are welcome to join us in the Café and Fireside Lounge for this meaningful and encouraging evening.

SOS Morning: Serving Others Selflessly
