Bethany Cares Ministries and Programs

Our Bethany Cares initiative, under the guidance of the Deacon Board, is one way we work to accomplish the outreach vision of the church.


Through Bethany Cares, we seek to serve the greater Gardner community by continuing to share the good news of Jesus Christ through our weekly, bi-weekly and on-going community-based programs.



Weekly, Biweekly

  • COMMUNITY HOT MEALS (Monday evenings) - Serving meals and the gospel to area community members to provide both physical and spiritual sustenance.
  • PRAYER FELLOWSHIP (Tuesday evenings) - Coming together to share concerns and needs and uplift them in intercessory prayer, led each week by one of the Deacons.

  • VISITATIONS (Tuesday evenings) - Visiting people in the community who have visited the church or been touched by our other ministries in some way.

  • YOUTH MINISTRIES (Tuesday evenings) - Ministering to young people in grades 6-12 with fun activities and Bible studies to strengthen their moral and spiritual foundation and inspire them in the joy of knowing the Lord.

  • KIDS' CLUB - ALL STARS FOR JESUS (Wednesday evenings) - Ministering to children in grades K-6 with fun activities and Bible studies to introduce them to the joy of knowing the Lord (Wednesday nights).
