Regular Sunday Services

We love having children in worship! We have activity bags for children for each service and a children’s message at the second service. We also have a professionally staffed nursery for children 5 years and younger. Please read about our nursery.

Home Communion If you, or someone you know, would like to receive communion at home, contact the Caring Connection Ministry lead, Joanne Stensaas, to set up a convenient time to meet with one of our Caring Connection team members.

8:45am Traditional Worship
Sundays until December 25 2026
This event is from 8:45 AM to 9:45 AM at Sanctuary
Contact Pastor Ben Sandin

Bethel’s traditional worship infuses the best of our heritage as Lutheran Christians with energy and verve. Using a variety of sung liturgies and hymns led by our accomplished organist, Melody Wright, we honor God each week in the classical style that so many have grown to know and love. Regular participation by the adult, bell and children’s choirs make hearts leap while Christ-centered preaching makes the Bible come alive for life in the 21st century. Families can use the Nursery room as needed and we have activity bags for children. The sacrament of Holy Communion is offered on the 2nd, and 4th Sundays of the month, and on special occasions. Socially distanced seating is available. You are also welcome to attend worship online

10:45am Contemporary Worship
Sundays until May 25
This event is from 10:45 AM to 11:45 AM at Sanctuary
Contact Pr Ben

Designed for those who love praising God with a rock and roll beat, Bethel’s spirited contemporary worship provides a great blend of the familiar and the innovative. Each week the worship band will get your heart pounding and feet thumping and the pastors will make the Bible come alive for life in the 21st century. The sacrament of Holy Communion is offered on the 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays of the month. Musical selections by all of our talented musical groups will enhance the theme each week. With video, drama and other tactile elements, this is much more than a worship service; it’s a worship experience not to be missed.
