Bethany is a creative, queer-affirming, intentionally intergenerational neighborhood church. We're a home for open-minded, wholehearted, hands-on faith. You’re invited!
Our worship theme for May is Spring Migration:
This May, Vince is finally doing it! A worship theme all about birds! (And also about us.) The next few weeks are the ones that birders live for each year, as millions of migrants make their way back to their breeding grounds for the summer, and we get to see species that aren’t here most of the time. But migration is not just travel, it’s transformation, as many of the birds molt from their drab winter feathers to their bold breeding plumage. Spring is a time to talk change- the way we understand ourselves, our faith, our world. A time to be renewed and be vibrant. So join us for worship this month!
Join us this Sunday at 10:30 am in the sanctuary or online.
Sign up for the weekly email to stay in touch, for links, and the latest on everything we’re up to.
And, new!, subscribe to our calendar (a work in progress!) or view it here.

The Ancient World of Jesus Small Group
This Month
Jesus said some outlandish things. But when we recognize that he lived in a specific historical moment of political and religious conflict, his ideas make a whole lot more sense. Together, we will learn about the ancient context that influenced Jesus' ministry to help us better interpret and apply his teachings as we navigate our own turbulent times as individuals, citizens, and seekers of justice. The group will meet May 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th from 7:00 - 8:00 pm. Sign up here!
Welcome (back) to our new Children and Families Minister: Xander King!
We are excited to announce that Bethany has hired Xander King for our Director of Children and Families Ministry position! While Xander is well-known at Bethany, the committee received 23 applicants and interviewed 7 candidates over three rounds of interviews! We are grateful for all the hard work they put in and very excited for Xander to begin this new position.
Congratulate him when you see him, and start thinking about how you would like to support Children's Ministry at Bethany in the coming year!
