The following is an overview of the many opportunities where you can join together with fellow believers to serve our Savior at Bethany Lutheran.
Christian Charity / Health Ministry Committee:
Bethany Health Ministry is a ministry of Christian service shaped by Christ’s concern of all aspects of the human condition and directed to the service of the whole person.
The primary purpose of the congregation is to spread the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus Christ. In addition, a congregation serves as a “home” and a “family” to its members who have not only spiritual needs but also physical, emotional and psychological needs. The members of the congregation gather together to share the love of God with one another.
Health Ministry conveys this love of Jesus by identifying the unmet human needs within our congregation and in our community and provide services including:
· Parish Nursing
· Blood Pressure Screening
· Transportation
· Home Delivered Meals
· Community Outreach (Blood Drives, Meals on Wheels, Relay for Life)
Elders Committee:
The Elders Committee is made up of 4 people including the elected church council representative. The Committee is to monitor and address each called worker and their families spiritual, emotional, professional, financial, and physical needs. The Committee also works as an extension of the Visitation Committee to deal with members who are misguided or have not been attending church services. The Committee also assists the Pastors with communion when needed and may also be called upon in Bereavement Ministry to help meet the needs of those members who have lost a loved one.

Fellowship Committee:
The Fellowship Committee consists of a least four members including the elected council representative and the committee members appointed by that representative in consultation with the pastor(s). The objective of the committee is to promote and organize activities and events to allow fellow Christians to develop relationships and to encourage one another in the Word.
