Renovations
The vision for Bethel's blessings and successes was embedded in the words, "Step By Step." God has truly blessed the church family of Bethel through the renovations of the church's kitchen, installation of new tile and carpeting in the sanctuary and refurbishing of the pews.
Through the unselfish leadership and loving guidance of Reverends George and Nerma Chretian, the first and second phases of the church renovations have been achieved. The third phase will be the re-upholstering of the pulpit chairs.
