Outreach
Serving Christ Through Community
Christ compels us to share His love, and we believe that we are called to serve our community through outreach. Bethesda has many outreach programs that help us in our mission to make a difference. If you are interested in getting involved, we encourage you to reach out.
“Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.”
– John 12:26

ELCA’s God’s Work Our Hands
The work day is an opportunity to celebrate who we are as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America – one church, freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. Service activities offer an opportunity for us to explore one of the most basic convictions as Lutherans: that all of life in Jesus Christ, every act of service in every daily calling, in every corner of life flows freely from a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. Bethesda has been involved since 2013 when it began.
