Welcome to Bethesda Presbyterian Church!
We are glad you have connected to us through our website. Our Mission: Love In Action! It’s that simple. At Bethesda Presbyterian Church, we believe prayerful action – as a church and in our daily lives - is the way of the gospel. Join us in our beautiful Sanctuary or on Zoom for our uniquely "big small church" experience!
May 17 - Love Is Action, Part 2
It's Ascension Sunday - though ascension is not the focus here. The descension of the Holy Spirit on the disciples is. Are we prepared to reject the church's personality cult of the Christ - cease outsourcing our faith to him - and show the love that is action in our lives?Our Choir: "I'll Be On My Way"
Kerry Wilkerson, baritone. Kerry - a gifted soloist - is retired from the U.S. Army Chorus. This powerful worship postlude with Kerry and our choir sends us soaring into the world! Composer: Shawn Kirchner.
