Bethel Marriage Workshop
The Bethel Marriage Seminar is for couples who have been married for many years or who are just starting out, and whose marriage is healthy or struggling. You’re invited to join us as we discover how to be more intentional about investing in our marriage relationships. “No More Perfect Marriages” is a live teaching and interactive seminar presented by Mark and Jill Savage. Self-described as being married 35 years, 25 of them happily, the Savages learned many lessons while turning around their hurting relationship, and then committed to share what they learned with other couples. Topics include: Navigating Differences, The Slow Fades that are Pulling You Apart (Without you even knowing it!), The 8 God-Tools that Stop the Fades, and Strengthen Your Marriage.
When: Friday, January 27, 7:00-9:00pm
Saturday, January 28, 8:30am-4:30pm
Where: Bethel Church, Crown Point Campus
Cost: $25 per couple
Food: Snacks provided; Saturday lunch will be on your own (many local restaurant options nearby)

Women of the Word (“WOW”) is the discipleship ministry for women at Bethel. This weekly Bible study is offered in both the fall and spring to women who want to grow closer to God by studying the Bible. Our hope is that eventually, all women would find themselves in WOW, digging deep into God’s Word and doing life together with other women who love Jesus. We offer several options including mornings with childcare, evenings, Zoom, and independent study. This semester, beginning the week of January 31, we will study the book of Philippians. The cost for the study material is $20. To view session options and to register, click the link below.
Steps Recovery
Steps is a recovery and care ministry that exists to offer practical steps, care, encouragement, accountability, and community to anyone struggling with life hurts. Steps will use the best of all programs, building on gospel truth and integrating the 12 steps as the basis for finding freedom and victory in Christ. We will have groups designed to tackle and overcome addiction, anxiety, marriage issues, depression, and a host of distress.
Steps meets at the Crown Point campus on Monday evenings, beginning January 30, at 6:30pm, for a 12-week session. It will include a time of community, live large group, 12-step teaching, and small group discussion and accountability each week. We are not offering a meal, but snacks and water will be provided. There will be a limited online option as well.
We hope you will join us.
