~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY 
We should hold people accountable to themselves and to each other in order to grow in Christ. Discipleship should create an environment for each attendee to feel the need to grow up with Jesus Christ. Our goal is for each member at Bethel to become an active disciple 
                               for Christ in education and discipleship.
 
The Discipleship Ministry Team meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. under the direction of CE Liz Yount, Elders Harry Bentley and Linda Burrell. If you would like to be a part of this team, please come to our meeting.

The Discipleship Ministry at Bethel is committed to supplying quality Christian Fellowship Studies for your spiritual growth and for armor against the secular world! We offer three adult classes, including a  Wednesday evening Bible study, a ladies Bible study, Presbyterian Women Bible study, and also children and youth classes. It is our hope to offer something for everyone.

This is an excellent way to get to know some great people even better and have fun doing it!  We currently have 3 groups meeting every month.  Each group can accommodate a few more or we can start new groups.  I have plenty of curriculum for you if you have the desire for starting a new Bible study!  The home Bible study groups meeting currently are:

1.    Meeting at the home of the Bales' on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM and studying the book of Jude.

2.    Meeting at the home of the Bement's on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM and studying "The Mystery of God's Will" by Charles Swindoll.  The Mystery of God's Will tries to de-mystify, clarify, and put your mind at ease concerning God's will.
