Outreach

Community Impact Offering

During our 2025 Easter services, we took our annual Community Impact Offering. We raised over $34,000 that we gave back 100% to local organizations who are making an impact in our community! This remarkable achievement showcases the dedication and compassion of Bethany towards making a positive difference in our local community. Here is more info about the organizations we are partnering with and a breakdown of where we are dispersing the funds. We are immensely proud to have partnered with these incredible organizations, which have proven track records of making positive changes in our communities. By supporting them, we can collectively create a ripple effect of transformation, improving lives and fostering hope for a brighter future.
