Vision:

With gratitude to God for his sovereign grace which he has richly bestowed upon us in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit and in dependence upon his enabling grace to be faithful stewards of the gospel entrusted to us, we hereby declare that our vision for Bethel is:

- to be a worshipping assembly where God is glorified and Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our Savior and Lord, is clearly presented through the reading and proclamation of the Scriptures and the proper observance of the Sacraments; and where the congregation is exhorted to respond actively in praise, prayer, giving and faithful service;

- to ensure the authoritative preaching of the whole counsel of God through faithful exposition of the Scriptures;

- to understand the truth of Scripture and the system of doctrine as summarized in the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Larger and Shorter Catechisms, to apply these truths to practical living, and to carry out the covenantal responsibility of training and instructing our children in the Lord;

- to reach out with the gospel of Christ, by bearing witness to God's call to repentance, his sovereign work in salvation, and his lordship over all of life, and by doing good to all men as we have opportunity;

- to promote spiritual growth and maturity, encouraging one another to submit increasingly to the lordship of Christ by dying to sin and living to righteousness; and

- to encourage regular, persistent prayer, both corporate and private, in which we confidently approach God with adoration, praise, thanksgiving, confession and petition.
