Bethel Women's Ministry aspires to be a grace-filled community of women known for making disciples who love God passionately, love others intentionally, and serve the world sacrificially.
A message from Linda Pearson
Bethel Women Director Amy Hashbarger had the chance to sit down with Linda Pearson and hear more of her story. Linda and her late husband, Pastor Jim Pearson, served at Bethel Church in the 1990s, and she, along with her family, recently visited during our Sunday worship service. We pray you can take some time this week to listen.

Opportunities to Serve
Bethel Women is in need of Tuesday AM volunteers to help with our children’s program, which coincides with our MOMs group. No teaching or prep time is required! The group meets every Tuesday during the school year from 9-11am. We need weekly helpers and substitutes. We want to allow our mothers the time and space to breathe, read God’s word, and fellowship with other moms. In order for that to be possible, we need volunteers to help with the children. If this sounds like an opportunity God may be calling you to, please reach out to AmyHashbarger@bethelfc.com
Leadership Recruitment and Training Bethel Women invites you to come alongside us for the upcoming ministry season. Are you being called to lead a group, pray with women, work with children, serve in a hospitality role, or help with events? Let us know! For more info, contact AmyHashbarger@bethelfc.com.
