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.

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.

So often I forget and put myself on the back burner, or I simply take God for granted and I really forget to make Jesus the way in my life to guide me and provide knowledge we must do our best to keep Christ in the center of all that we do for our lives because our time here on earth is so short and we are all going through life in our own ways but it's pretty crazy when you connect on such a spiritual level and it makes all the difference

Mass was celebrated by a priest and deacon, and the homily was excellent. They had two collections, but doubt that is normal. People seemed friendly and you could tell there was a real sense of community. What I didn't like was that communion was just the host, no precious blood. As well, one of our group was not catholic, and went forward for a blessing at communion and the EM in that line did not seem to know what to do. Another small personal annoyance is that the tabernacle is off in a side chapel, so you don't get to see the sacrament being reposed in the tabernacle. All in all though, a really nice church.

Was visiting the area and stopped in for 9AM Mass. Parishoners are very welcoming and the priest positively radiates Christian joy. The cantor at the Mass we attended was excellent and was accompanied by a thundering organ. Communion is very orderly and I like that they have separate lines for those who do not want to partake of the precious blood.

It is currently led and served by one very hard working priest who is tirelessly dedicated to his flock and keeps instituting new ways to get more parish members actively involved in the practice of our faith and in sharing and fellowship as a community.

I visited Bethany for a pre-Women's Day service recently where a guest preacher, that I follow on…read moreIG, was preaching. My 16yo daughter commented that we should visit one day for Sunday service, as it is less than ten miles from home. I expected there to be an offering, but in the beginning of the service, they had two baskets. Bishop Evans said one was for the guest preacher, and the other for the ministry. He then said we needed to put the same amount in each basket. Umm, say what now? I've never heard a pastor tell the congregation how to give! I had a $10 bill and a $5 bill. I put the former in the basket for the guest, since she was the reason I was there, and nothing in the other. The guest preacher was awesome, but when she was done, SHE announced another offering for herself! Needles to say, I did not give. I mean, I thought that's what the earlier offering was for! Then, Bishop Evans says "if you didn't sow a seed, you should have", and words to the effect that your blessings are dependent on your giving. I was outdone! And to top it all off, there was no altar call. I guess they were too concerned with folks's money than their souls. Even my daughter said, after we left, that therein lies the reason a lot of people don't go to church, especially mega churches - because they think they're all about the money. I'm thankful that at my home church, Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church, we pray for those who want to give but can't. I was disappointed in my experience at Bethany. So much so, that Jesus Christ himself would have to be preaching before I would visit again!
