WHO WE ARE

DISCOVER OUR MISSION, VALUES, AND VISION

WELCOME TO BETHEL CHURCH!

We're a gospel-centered community in Owatonna, Minnesota, passionate about glorifying God and making disciples. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time or have been walking with Jesus for years, we’d love to come alongside you as you grow. Here's a little more about who we are and what we’re all about.

OUR PURPOSE

OUR MISSION

We exist to ENJOY God in closeness of relationship, and JOIN HIM in his purpose of making his name known throughout the earth.
Our mission is to help more people become fully devoted followers of Jesus.

VALUES

These are the measurable behaviors that we’re looking to embody as a community. You could also see these as “health markers” in the life of any believer. We are looking at these areas for ways to grow and become more healthy in your walk with Jesus.
Surrender (INITIAL and ON-GOING)
Community (BIG and SMALL)
Time with Jesus (WORD and PRAYER)
Disciple-making (CO-JOURN and MULTIPLY)
Serving Others (TIME and TALENTS)
Generosity (MONEY and POSSESSIONS)

BELIEFS

“Die for” (statement of faith)
“Defend” (we think we’re right, but won’t say you’re not a Christian if you don’t agree)
“Discuss” (we think these things are fun to talk about and hold them with open hands)
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe the Bible itself to be the final authority in our lives as believers - these are a few ways we as a body believe that plays out for us week in and week out. We are committed to organizing under these directives will help us to do life together as God's people well.
