YOUR IMPACT
LOCAL & GLOBAL
Sunday is just the beginning.
Being the Church isn’t just about attending a service—it’s about living out God’s love every day—in your workplaces, schools, and neighbourhoods.
Through supporting local and global causes, partnering with missionaries, and engaging with a variety of organizations and initiatives, Bethel strives to make a tangible impact in our city and around the world. Here are some of the ways we’re serving together—join us in making a difference!
GLOBAL IMPACT
Bethel supports missionaries serving around the world. We believe Jesus is still calling people to go, and as a church family, we are embracing this mission by walking alongside them in prayer, encouragement, and practical support.
Some of the missionaries we support serve in restricted-access nations, where creative and Spirit-led approaches are needed to share the gospel. Their work focuses on making Spirit-filled disciples and planting multiplying fellowships of local believers—often in places where a non-missionary identity is essential.
For other missionaries, we are able to share who they are and where they are serving, giving our church family the opportunity to see the tangible difference being made in communities around the world.
