I attended a funeral for a family member and Pastor Frank Olsen led the service. The service was…read morehateful, unprofessional, intolerant and condescending. Frank Olsen used his time at this funeral to recruit new church members, bash other faiths, and talk down to the attendees. Half of those present left the room and walked out of his long winded, empty preaching. Frank Olsen, his wife and the other parishioners did not act very Christian like towards the grieving people in the room. It seemed like their only focus was to gain new church members and talk about how all other faiths are worshipping incorrectly. I would never recommend that anyone attends his church or use his services for anything. Father Olsen had absolutely no respect for the many different faiths that came together for this funeral. I left the funeral feeling worse than when I arrived.

I was raised Catholic, then switched to Episcopalian in 2003 for some personal reasons…read more My son started attending Bethel because of some friends who are parishioners. I joined him today, per his request. This church is beautiful and humongous ... a bit too over the top for me though, with the large screens (you can follow bible verses, readings, and song lyrics), concert type performances and loudness on the microphones. As much as I love music, I prefer a talking service, with minimal singing. I'll go again to support my son but I'll stick with my little, much quieter parish. Lovely people but not for me.

We have really enjoyed this church. We went during missions month, and they are a very nice…read morechurch! A heart for the nations and a heart for their community. It's a place that truly loves God and stands firmly on His Word. The pastor teaches the Gospel clearly and doesn't shy away from speaking truth... even when it challenges you to look at your own heart. Those messages are exactly what's needed today, and they always point back to growing closer to Jesus. Another thing we love is the kids and youth ministries. My kiddos absolutely love going! It's a fun, welcoming environment, but more importantly, the teachers genuinely care about guiding kids and teens toward a real relationship with Jesus. If you're looking for a God-loving church that teaches the Bible, this is a good place.

This "fallen Catholic" loves this parish --- Episcopalian…read more Our Reverend Margaret (retiring end of this year :( ) is incredible - personable, enthusiastic, passionate and words difficult readings in an understandable ways. The small parish is very clean and neat. The congregation is truly like a small close knit family. Little ones can attend Sunday school - the teachers are wonderful! After 10 am Sunday mass - go across the street to the parish hall for coffee hour. Parishioners take turns providing the treats. Donate (or not) as you deem. In the summer there are "Sundae Sundays" - just what it implies. Yum! My only gripe is that there aren't enough Mass offerings, although I know its because it isn't a large parish.
