Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. – 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Ingathering has been a long-running annual tradition of celebration of Gods work at Bethel Church. Ingathering includes dinner together, a time of worship, testimonies from people in the Bethel Church family and a special offering.

This year’s offering project will include updating the Worship Center and providing funds for the Madelia Church Plant.

Madelia Church Plant

Twenty-five percent of the funds given at Ingathering 2022 will go to help the Bethel Madelia campus as it seeks to be a light for Jesus to the Madelia area. We are trusting God that in the next few years the Madelia campus will launch out as an independent Evangelical Free Church. This gift will help this become a reality.

Worship Center Renewal

Seventy-five percent of the funds given at Ingathering 2022 will be allocated to the process of renewing the Worship Center. We are so thankful that our worship space has served Bethel well for decades as a place for multiple generations to worship and glorify God. In 2019, a team was put together to begin creating a plan for renewing the Worship Center, and funds began to be collected for this project. The team worked together to put together a plan which was approved by the Elders and the congregation. On October 24 of this year, demolition began. We anticipate the project to be completed near the end of January 2023. Our desire is that the Worship Center will continue to serve Bethel well in the years and generations to come.
