“Surely the LORD is in this place… This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.” — Genesis 28:16–17
Bethel Bible Church came into being on Pentecost Sunday, 2026 — fifty days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, on the same anniversary as the birth of the early Church in Acts 2.
That timing is not an accident. Just as the Spirit fell on the disciples gathered in Jerusalem and the Church was born in fire and fellowship, Bethel was founded on the conviction that the Holy Spirit is still moving, still filling, and still building the Church of Jesus Christ today.
The name Bethel comes from Genesis 28, where Jacob — a wandering man far from home — lay down to sleep at an ordinary place and had an extraordinary encounter with God. He dreamed of a ladder reaching to heaven. Angels ascended and descended. God spoke. When Jacob awoke, he said: “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” He named the place Bethel — the House of God.
That is our prayer for this church: that every person who walks through our doors — tired, searching, far from home — will encounter the living God. That Bethel will be the place where heaven and earth meet, where ordinary people have extraordinary encounters with Jesus Christ.
“This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”— Genesis 28:17 • Jacob at Bethel
Pentecost Sunday
May 24, 2026 — fifty days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. On the same day the Spirit fell in Jerusalem, Bethel Bible Church took her first breath.
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.”
Acts 2:1–2 — The Birth of the Church
Everything at Bethel — our worship, our preaching, our community, our outreach — flows from and returns to this calling.
We are disciples of Jesus Christ, making disciples of Jesus Christ — a people of God after God’s own heart.
To evangelize the lost and bring all disciples of Jesus Christ into a vibrant, intimate, obedient, and trusting love relationship with Jesus Christ.
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” — Matthew 22:37
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.”— Matthew 28:19–20 • The Great Commission that drives everything we do
On behalf of the founding family of Bethel Bible Church, it is my deepest joy to welcome you to something I believe God has been preparing for such a time as this.
Today — on Pentecost Sunday — we gather not by coincidence but by divine appointment. Just as the early Church was born in fire and fellowship fifty days after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, so Bethel Bible Church takes her first breath on this same sacred day.
Our mission is simple and our calling is clear: We are disciples of Jesus Christ, making disciples of Jesus Christ — a people of God after God’s own heart. Everything we do — our worship, our teaching, our community, our outreach — flows from and returns to this vision.
Our doors are open. Our table has room. Whether you are a lifelong believer or someone still searching for answers, you are welcome here. Bethel Bible Church exists for you — and more importantly, it exists for the glory of the God who made you, loves you, and is calling you closer to Himself.
With joy and expectation in Christ,
Pastor William Hill
Founding Pastor, Bethel Bible Church
“Sunday services begin at 9:00 AM. We invite you to come as you are — and leave changed by the love of Jesus Christ.”— Pastor William Hill
Bethel Bible Church observes the two ordinances commanded by Jesus Christ: Water Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.
The outward declaration of inward transformation — observed by all who have repented and believed in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, declaring that they have died with Christ and been raised to walk in newness of life (Romans 6:4; Matthew 28:19).
Bread and cup shared in memorial of Christ’s suffering and death, and in proclamation of His return — enjoined to all baptized believers “until He comes” (1 Corinthians 11:23–26; Luke 22:19–20).
The colors of Bethel Bible Church are drawn from the most sacred colors woven throughout the pages of Scripture — from the tabernacle of Moses to the throne room of Revelation. Every color has a biblical meaning and a theological purpose.
“He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.”— Psalm 23:2–3
