Vision Statement: Here in Bethany, where paths cross and journeys begin, we rejoice in God's love and grace and our belief in Jesus Christ.
Mission Statement: Together, and with God's help, we pledge to: Core Values: We celebrate the diversity of God's creation as a gift to the human family, and open our celebrations, sacraments, ministry, and membership to all people. We commit to sensitizing ourselves especially to the life experiences and needs of those rejected by the wider community. With joy, we affirm that everyone is a child of God!
- Keep worship around the table of Christ as the heart of what we do as Christians, centering our life together in prayer;
- See in the life, teaching, witness, and example of Christ how we are to reach out in love to our neighbors, inviting all into community through worship, fellowship, work, and play;
- Provide education that inspires Christian living and understanding--so that, together, children and adults can grow in faith and spirituality;
- Treat each other respectfully and gently amid our varied theological, cultural, and political perspectives, trusting in God to be at work in our hearts and minds;
- Foster Christian stewardship as a way of life, inspiring generosity, especially toward those less fortunate than we;
- Comfort those in crisis by providing for their immediate needs and supporting them in their recovery;
- Share our congregation's unique heritage in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) while upholding Campbell's vision of Christian unity in the Ecumenical Church; and,
- Strengthen the historic and living relationship with Bethany College, nurturing future church leaders.
"Faith doesn't get us out of trouble; faith gets us through it."
