Bethel Mennonite Church - Gladys VA

A Conservative Christian Church (and podcast)

Religious Affiliation

We each have to choose if we want to follow Jesus. We’re not born into God’s kingdom—we must decide for ourselves to become part of His family. Being part of the church is not something we inherit from our parents. It’s a decision we make when we hear God’s call and say yes to Him.... Read More

Looking Back and Looking Forward

Most of us probably spend some time looking back, whether with negative feelings or positive feelings. When the children of Israel felt trapped at the Red Sea or when they were hungry or thirsty, they looked back with longing to return to slavery.

A Deeper Communion

A healthy church is made up of people who are in close communion with God and each other. I John 1 - Jesus is our basis for this communion.
