They offer a wide variety of ministries, including an amazing Awana program, meaningful military outreach, MomCo, and numerous small groups where you can connect and grow. Sunday morning worship is uplifting and inspiring, and the children's ministry is exceptional. From the caring nursery staff to the welcoming Sunday school teachers, families are made to feel right at home from the moment they walk through the doors! Such a wonderful and welcoming church family!

The people are all so friendly and I love that the kids stay during service. The pastors are all approachable and friendly, but Jon Needham is my favorite. He captures my wavering focus and keeps me engaged. He speaks well and explains the Bible in its true form. Only downside is the delicious donuts they have in the lobby....my mid section isn't impressed at all. I wish we lived closer so that we could do more of the events they have but getting there on Sundays is a start. Worth the 40 min drive from GH.

From the sermons down to the welcome team, every detail is thought out and has a purpose. Everything is focused on Jesus. The church community is made up of all generations and has a warm and welcoming heart. My family was so lucky to have found this church when we were in need of it and feel that we have a community and support system here made up of all ages and walks of life. If you are "church shopping" I highly recommend you come at least three times, to this or any church. Maybe you know it's where God wants you on the first week, or maybe it's one of those special events that doesn't give you the full experience. Three weeks tends to be a good sample in my opinion.

I feel slightly weird about reviewing a church, but I wished there were more (or really, any)…read morereviews when I was recently searching and could only choose which churches to check out based on their websites. I haven't gotten plugged into a Bible Study or Care Group here yet, so this is not a comprehensive review but is relatively unbiased since I'm not really involved yet. Of course, everyone has their own set of priorities and preferences when they're church-hunting, but hopefully this is helpful: PBF is very relaxed, friendly, come-as-you-are genuine... it doesn't feel like they're trying too hard to create a "chill" atmosphere. It's not a "hipster" church, but they obviously put some effort in aesthetically pleasing worship music slides and a well-done website. The worship band is excellent. Though there are sometimes a few unfamiliar songs (that are well chosen), I like that the worship set usually includes modern worship favorites, with an occasional hymn. More importantly, all these nice but more superficial things don't distract from what makes this a really solid church: the teaching is Biblical, and you can see that this church worships "in spirit and in truth" (and I've found few churches that strike this balance). Pastor Joe Schneider, who is sadly retiring soon, speaks the truth in love... he doesn't water down the Bible, and he equally addresses the parts that are harder to hear and the parts that everyone wants to hear. I feel both challenged and uplifted by the sermons, and I think I will really grow spiritually if I actually respond to what I feel convicted of during them. It seems like Pastor Joe and the church leadership have a solid understanding of the Gospel in its entirety (this year's theme is Gospel 365). The church is actively involved in social action/outreach like serving the homeless and jail ministry, as well as internal ministries like Divorce Care and the usual women's, men's, youth, and children's ministries. I am quite impressed by how this church seems both very "well-rounded" and deep (as in, not just about superficial activity). I feel blessed to have found it.

The church building is beautiful: exposed wood beams, richly upholstered paraments, polished brass, gleaming stained glass.

If you are seeking Him, you will find Him at Bethany!
