We are delighted that you decided to visit our website and learn about what God is doing at Bethel Congregational Church UCC. We have a variety of programs for everyone. Grab a cup of coffee (or tea?) and your comfy chair as you explore our site and find out more about us. 

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

We’ve put together some information here that anticipates and tries to briefly answer some of the questions you may have prior to visiting our church for the first time.
