…that God desires all people to have a living relationship with Him.

…that we are separated from God because of our mistakes and sins. And we cannot do anything to fix this separation.

…that God has fixed our problem with sin by sending His Son, Jesus to be our Savior. Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross for us and then rose from the dead to bring us into a relationship with Him.

 …that God, the Holy Spirit, works through His Word, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper to further connect us to Himself and empower us to have a relationship with Him.  The Spirit is into transforming our life.

 …that God works to gather those who trust Him into His kingdom. His kingdom is lived out in churches.  In churches God grants all His  people what they need to work and build up the kingdom.  He  empowers us to care for others and make a difference in our community.

 At Bethel, we value relationship with people, our Lord and our community.
