Jesus tells his disciples to “Go …and make disciples of all nations.”

Missions at Bethel PCA: Sharing the Good News Locally and Globally

Jesus commanded His disciples to "Go...and make disciples of all nations." At Bethel Presbyterian Church, we believe that worship and mission are inseparable. In worship, we are commissioned, guided, empowered, and sent out into the world to participate in God's mission. Worship is not only an act of praise but a call to action—preparing us to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to a broken world.

We live in a world that was created good but is now marred by sin and disobedience, under God's righteous judgment. Yet, sin and evil have not thwarted God’s redemptive plan. His promise of deliverance was fulfilled through the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through Christ, God’s kingdom has broken into this world, and it is through the church that this work continues today. Christ builds His church by His Word and Spirit, and we are called to proclaim this message of new life and hope to all nations.

Missions is the ongoing work of the church, which, in the deepest sense, is the work of Christ Himself. The church, empowered by His Spirit, calls people from every corner of the earth to faith and obedience in Jesus Christ. Through word and deed, we show the world how Christ’s salvation transforms every aspect of life, pointing them toward the hope of the kingdom's ultimate fulfillment when God will be all in all.

As Christians, we recognize that the church occupies a unique place in the world. We are set apart from the world because we belong to a different kingdom—the kingdom of God. Yet, we do not stand indifferent to the world around us. We live in the midst of it, carrying out our responsibility to be salt and light. Though the church is distinct from the kingdom of man, it has a vital role to play in the world, bearing witness to God's impossible possibilities and His unfolding plan of salvation.

Jesus said, "As the Father has sent me, so I send you." At Bethel, we take this calling seriously. We are a church in mission, first and foremost proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, the light of the world. The proclamation of the Word is central to our mission, as we believe that apart from the gospel, the church has little to offer. But through the gospel, we offer the world the reality of God's peace and renewal—even in the midst of sin and brokenness.

With this conviction, Bethel PCA seeks to impact both our local community and the world. Our Missions Committee serves as the bridge between our congregation and our missionaries, ensuring that we stay connected and engaged in God’s global mission. We are committed to praying for, financially supporting, and sending missionaries to help fulfill the Great Commission.

Currently, Bethel PCA supports mission work in Peru, Germany, and Spain, as well as local outreach efforts. Our church strives to be a faithful witness, bringing the hope of Christ to our city and the nations.
