ABOUT US
THE BEGINNING
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
We are delighted to welcome you to the Church of Bethesda, where everybody can be made whole. We are so glad that you have decided to join our Church family and share in the joy of the gospel.
Church of Bethesda was founded in 2024 by Pastor Cornelius Rouse, who has a vision to reach the lost and disciple the saved through the power of the word of God. The Church of Bethesda is a vibrant and diverse community of believers who love God and people.
VALUES
At the Church of Bethesda, we are guided by a set of core values that shape our mission and community life. We believe in Faith, grounding ourselves in the love and teachings of Christ, fostering a deep, personal relationship with God. Compassion drives us to serve others, reflecting Christ’s love through acts of kindness and support for those in need.
We uphold the value of Community, creating a welcoming space where everyone feels at home, valued, and heard. Our commitment to Integrity ensures that we act with honesty and transparency in all we do, building trust within our congregation and beyond. Finally, we embrace Growth, both spiritually and personally, encouraging one another to explore faith, deepen understanding, and live out our beliefs boldly in the world.
Join us as we live out these values together, seeking to make a positive impact in our lives and the lives of others.
VISION
Inspired by the story of healing in John 5:1-15, our vision at the Church of Bethesda is to be a beacon of hope and restoration for our community. Just as Jesus encountered the man by the pool of Bethesda, we strive to meet individuals in their moments of struggle, offering compassion and support.
We envision a church where healing—spiritual, emotional, and physical—flows freely, empowering everyone to experience the transformative power of Christ. Our commitment is to create an environment where the broken find renewal, the weary find rest, and the lost find direction.
We seek to foster a community that actively engages in service, advocates for the marginalized, and builds bridges of understanding and love. Through faith, prayer, and action, we aim to reflect God’s grace, inviting all to partake in the abundant life that Jesus offers.
Together, let us walk alongside one another, witnessing the miracles of healing and hope unfold in our lives and the world around us.
